It's not a fantastic book but it's a solid read, maybe a bit above average. It follows James Willing, who isn't a great character but again, solid, and his "journey" through city life, writing for magazines or what have you about things he doesn't seem to care about. Reminds me of Glamorama but I'm not even entirely sure why. Maybe it's the writing style or just the general atmosphere of celebrity worship in it. The writing style is good, but I think the book was supposed to be funnier than it is. Didn't really make me feel anything much by the end either, but nice satire of the "elite" class who listens to classical music and claims faux-intelligence. I enjoyed that aspect quite a bit.

A fast-paced comic extravaganza from the pen of the author of the runaway bestseller How Insensitive. Set in the cynical and celebrity-obsessed world of mainstream media, and alternatively in the stultifying conservatism of suburban sprawl, a failed musician and intellectual nerd has become a freelance magazine writer and unwillingly been cast into the role of fashion arbiter. Reluctantly, and only for the money, James Rainer Willing agrees to interview the reclusive nationalist Canadian poet Ludwig Boben for the prestigious American magazine Glitter. Willing's insanely busy and competitive life provides glimpses into the world of fashion photography, small-press poetry readings, expensive and fashionable restaurants (he is a restaurant critic), 'lifestyle' magazines, and a return to the suddenly-quiet life or non-life of ghostly New Munich, Ontario, where Willing revisits his one-time peers, the People Who Stayed Behind.
