The book media has started to pick up on the novel, or at least the signing of the deal. It’s early yet, but it’s nice to know people are taking notice. I also like the very short synopsis ECW came up with: Waiting for the Man is about a dissatisfied copywriter who becomes a media sensation by following his distinctive inner voice.
That’s probably half the length of what I offered my publisher. AND a hell of a lot more succinct. I’m officially in forest-for-the-trees land, I suppose. If the media gets big, there will be built in irony to boot. Everything will get meta. Meta media. Though one can argue most media is about itself these days.
