After aspiring novelist Francis Scanlon is expelled from a prestigious creative writing program, he is forced to become a spin doctor at the Prock Chocolate Corporation while he awaits the publication of his masterpiece. But Francis’s expectations of easy money and literary glory are thwarted by a paranoid boss, a charlatan writing coach, a snarky reporter, a sanctimonious public health crusader, an oily U.S. Senator, and a radical Muslim cleric with absolutely no sense of humor. As the story unfolds, Francis is swept up by market forces and transformed from Millennial hipster to globe-trotting corporate jet-setter. Corporate America is a smart, outrageously funny debut that deftly blends bone-dry satire, high ideals and bad taste without ever showing its seams.

About the Author

Jack Dougherty has operated at the highest echelons of Corporate America—a place where few authors go. A former top PR executive inside two Fortune 500 companies and a consultant to more than a dozen others, he has formulated communications and media response strategies for CEOs and companies targeted by investigative journalists, headline-hungry politicians, revenue-hungry Attorneys General, wild-eyed activists and crafty plaintiff’s lawyers. Jack’s political clients have included elected officials at the local level, members of the United States House of Representative and the United States Senate, and politicians abroad. He coauthored a business book entitled Most Likely to Succeed at Work (St. Martin’s Press).
