With over-the-top characters, and ensuing brutish conversations, Antic Hay doesn't follow a typical narrative arc. Huxley's work portrays a world entirely fabricated on...

The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner is a novel by the Scottish author James Hogg, published anonymously in 1824. Considered by turns part-gothic novel, part-psychological mystery, part-metafiction, part-satire, part-case study of totalitarian thought, it can also be thought of as an early example of modern crime fiction, in which the story is told, for the most part, from the point of view of its criminal anti-hero. The action...

First of all let me say that the only reason I have written this book is because Mr. Paul Newman simply does not have the ability to do so on his own. It will not escape the reader's notice when they become familiar with his persona that he would have been incapable of writing it without my own assistance. I am a ghost writer. That is to say I write other people's books for them and get paid a pittance for the privilege. My own books have not been...
