How I Became a Famous Novelist (2009)

review 1: This is is really funny. Let's get that out of the way. Many giggles were had. But it's one joke for 300 pages. And a super cynical joke at that. And when it ends with a reductive, tedious lecture about "your generation" that is given a standing ovation, it becomes predictable, p...
