9780985508500: If You Won't Read, Then Why Should I Write? (Success and Failure Series)

Synopsis

In 1997, the world obtained a grainy video revealing lurid excerpts from honeymooners Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's post-wedding

celebration aboard a small yacht. Laying bare the mysteries of their intimate lives, this video became the first spark in a long and culturally supported trend: the leaked celebrity home movie.

Aligning criminal histories with transcribed extracts from such broadcasts, If You Won't Read Then Why Should I Write? documents the bathetic moments beyond a publicist's protective shield, while offering a sobering appraisal of American social justice.

About the Author

Jarett Kobek is a writer living in California. His last book (ATTA, published by Semiotexte), a psychedelic biography of 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta, was called "highly absorbing” by the Times Literary Supplement and longlisted for Novel of the Year by 3:AM Magazine. He is currently at work on a novel about the Dissolution of the Welsh Monasteries under Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell.

Review

"Set at the dusk of the neoliberal utopia, "If You Won't Read, Then Why Should I Write?" is perhaps the most assailing diagnosis of the collective state of the American mind."

- Maxi Kim (Author, HTMLGiant)

"highly absorbing” -- Times Literary Supplement, for Atta, longlisted for Novel of the Year by 3:AM Magazine
