BESTSELLER, by Alessandro Gallenzi

Bestseller is a satirical look at the publishing industry, seen from the eyes of the protagonist, an aspiring and unsuccessful writer named Jim Talbot. It has an interesting set of characters, including an old-style scholarly publisher, various corporate sharks, PR/marketing directors, corporate conglomerate bosses, ghost writers, etc. Although exaggerated, it provides a humorous view into the messy world of writers and publishers.
