Book Details


First Sentence

"The world of advertising has been a popular fiction setting for several reasons: (1) It's cutthroat, so there's lots of plot and character conflict, (2) many writers (such as Elmore Leonard and James Patterson) received their training in advertising, so it's a world they know a lot about, (3) there's much creative activity, which makes it natural to reveal the creative side of a character, (4) the stakes, in terms of money and career, are high, and (5) built into the business is the age-old theme of commerce vs. art."
