Uncorrected Proof (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780955867644)

When his novel is stolen by a celebrity author, Archie Lees embarks on a helter-skelter odyssey seeking justice in the dark worlds of Anglo-American publishing, the tale swinging from London to Barcelona, New York, Aigues-Mortes and back again over twelves months, November 2003 to October 2004.

Lew Collins ransacks categories, voices and genres excavating plagiarism and influence, reanimating modernism, realism, magic realism, poetry, pop, drama, screenwriting and the postmodernist novel, defrocking the methods and madness of major and minor literary techniques and reputations in a century of writerly solitude.
