This book is narrated by an author who is trying to write a brilliant novel. He is neurotic, selfish, and twisted, yet I found it hard not to like him. His marriage is falling apart and his life is in a downward spiral as he continually fails to write his novel. A Brilliant Novel in the Works is the novel he is failing to write and the people in his life become characters in his novel.
