No one wanted to publish Ben Cheever's third novel. With America in the throes of downsizing fever, Ben - former editor at "Reader's Digest", husband of a "New York Times" book critic, son of Pulitzer-prize-winning author - found himself out of a job. Redundant. Unemployed. And with limited prospects.
