Summary: The Smarmy Underside of the Books We Read
Review: Best-selling Barney Leason has written the definitive story of the publishers and editors who dictate our tastes in reading, "Shredded" is a biting satire of their lusts, their lies and their libels. With bold Swiftian thrusts, he skewers the evil geniuses who drive out good publishers and convert their gold into garbage. Two honest literary agents, in and our of love, and a rollicking novelist who refuses to buckle down eventually win a bittersweet victory against a background of violent death, treachery and tricky money games.
