PLOT SUMMARY:

Darkly funny and gleefully mean-spirited, Sellevision explores greed, obsession and third tier celebrity, in the world of a fictional home shopping network.

Welcome to the troubled world of Sellevision, America's premier retail broadcasting network. When Max Andrews, the much-loved and handsome (lonely and gay) host of "Slumber Sunday Sundown" accidentally exposes himself in front of twenty million kids and their parents during a "Toys for Tots" segment, Sellevision faces its first big scandal. As Max fails to find a job in television, another host, the popular and perky Peggy Jean Smythe is receiving sinister emails about her appearance from a stalker. Popping pills and drinking heavily, she fails to notice that her husband is spending a lot of time with the very young babysitter who lives next door. Then there's Leigh, whose affair with Sellevision boss Howard Toast is going nowhere, until she exposes him on air; and Bebe, Sellevision's star host, who finds Mr. Right through the Internet--if she can just stop her shopping addiction from taking over.

If you are bidding on this book, just a heads up it is VERY FUNNY! One of Burroughs better books. Apparently he wrote it in like a week. I loved this book, nice to see it on Listia! (oh, and this is not like his other books at all, which I think are all memoirs or short stories. This one is a totally original novel.)

nice to see another augusten fan! this was actually the first book he ever wrote, he credits it with helping him to stop drinking.

Maybe that's why I never read it. Sometimes we miss the early works of some of our favorite authors. His books are fast reads because you can't put them down.
