About this listen

Named a Best Book of 2022 by the New Yorker

Named a Top 10 Book of the Year by Slate

A New York Times Editors' Choice

Shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction

Caleb Horowitz is 27, and his wildest dreams are about to come true. His manuscript has caught the attention of the literary agent, who offers him fame, fortune and a taste of the literary life. He can't wait for his book to be shopped around to every editor in New York, except one: Avi Dietsch, a college rival and the novel's 'inspiration'.

When Avi gets his hands on the manuscript, he sees nothing but theft—and opportunity. And so Caleb is forced to make a Faustian bargain, one that tests his theories of success, ambition and the limits of art.

"I finished it in a day." (Nell Zink)
