The Plot by Jean Hanff KorelitzRead about the other entries on the list.
Another of my never-miss authors, Jean Hanff Korelitz’s literary gem drew me in from page one.When a once-promising young writer turned professor hears his student has died, he steals the plot of the student’s destined-for-success book in hopes of enjoying success of his own. As an author, little is scarier than being out of ideas, and while I don’t recommend Jacob Finch Bonner’s solution, it was a thrill to watch the twists unfold.
The Plot is among Elyse Friedman's eight novels featuring schemers & opportunists, E.G. Scott's five best books-within-books, Kimberly Belle's four thrillers with maximum escapism, and Louise Dean's top ten novels about novelists.
