My older brother is having his second novel published and it will be released in December. A couple of years ago he quit his job and moved to Budapest and this novel is what he has to show for it

It deals with the near future when automation has put most people out of work. Its a mix of Vonnegut and Bukowski.

Seth Myers and Alan Dershowitz wrote blurbs for the front cover which is pretty cool

Congrats to your bro!! A novel is hard to write, and a good one is even harder. Hope he's selling well, it can be a tough industry.

Buy it you cheap bastard. How else will he afford enough coke and booze to write another.

His first book is called High in the Streets if you wanna download that one too

Best of luck to him. I can’t read novels though. It’s boring. Hopefully they make it into a movie so I can enjoy it.

Probably won't read it, but, congrats to your brother.

You're a good guy to help out your bro, unless of course this is actually shameless self-promotion.

Is he self-published? I wish I had time to write a novel.

What if the bots are better creative artists than we are as well?

Not self published he spent a year submitting it to different publishers until it got picked up

I liked the characters in High in the Streets more but I feel this new novel is a better overall book

My brother decided it was a good idea to release an essay trashing the literary community 2 weeks before his books release date. I don't think the article is getting the response he wanted.

lol, repping that JD Salinger steez.

Bukowski and Vonnegut is a good combo, hope your bro does well in spite of himself.
