Confusing
This book is about a cynical literary agent. He and his wife have been trying to have a baby and are having marriage problems. He loses his wife on vacation. He begins to rethink his life and career, becomes depressed and suicidal. He also has a stalker. At one point he feels he is being haunted by his deceased wife.
I found the book to be confusing, with pages and pages of vague dialogue. One or two episodes are never explained so you don't even know what's real and what's imagined. The subplot with his stalker ends unsatisfactorily as well. Other than the insight into the selling of a book, I wasn't overly impressed by it.
