Katzenjammer: Soon To Be A Major Motion Picture

A Scathing, Quixotic, and Faustian look at The Publishing Industry . . .Jackson McCrae's new novel Katzenjammer takes us into the mind of Max Perkins'a first-time movie-obsessed novelist attempting to get his work published in New York. In this, his third book, McCrae strips away the media-created and hyped veneer of being a published author and shows us what it really takes to get a book on the bestseller list. The result is not always pretty but it is highly informative, hilarious, and above all, entertaining. Encompassing everything from Russian pianists, male prostitution, and insane bosses, to the Mormon religion, the New York arts scene, hermaphrodites, dwarfs, and the inner workings of corporate America, Katzenjammer is a ribald and adventurous romp through New York, publishing, and the world of books.About McCrae's Children's Corner . . . ?A stunning literary achievement. This Pulitzer Prize-worthy collection of short stories ranks as highly as some of Pynchon's works or those of Gabriel Marquez or Flannery O?Connor . . . a bittersweet compilation of loss, life, love, and insight into the human heart. A truly great collection from a great writer.' --BookReadsAbout McCrae's Bark of the Dogwood: "Downright hysterical . . . a hoot and a holler . . . an entertainment potpourri . . .I couldn't stop reading. My interest was piqued, then held throughout." -- The Sanford Herald "Can make you laugh out loud. Scenes with the power to disturb and to haunt." -- Echo Magazine ?Haunting, forceful, gripping, and intricate. This kaleidoscopic and original book has everything going for it'murder, blackmail, humor, love, grief, longing, and insight into the human condition'a deftly created triumph.' -- Peter MarinoJackson Tippett McCrae is the author of 'Katzenjammer: Soon To Be A Major Motion Picture', published 2005 under ISBN 9780971553637 and ISBN 0971553637.
