Synopsis
Hilarious fiction novel based on real life experiences of advertising in 1980's London and the award-winning greatest commerical of all time, The Hamlet cigars photobooth AD. Those `Mad Men' of the '60s were absolute amateurs compared to their successors in London's glam and decadent 1980s advertising scene, where money, long lunches and eye-watering expense accounts were the order of the day. From sabotaging the glitzy marble halls of New York advertising awards to hijacking gondolas in Venice, this hilarious novel takes you on a roller-coaster ride through the extravagantly indulgent world of 1980s creative advertising with all its narcissistic fame and glory. Written by one of Australia's fi nest satirists and one its best-known 1980s advertising gurus, Corkscrewed will leave you breathless with shock and disbelief, and drooling with envy!
