Good People

Beschreibung

"Comedy is the rock and roll of the Eighties!" proclaims Rolling Stone, and right away Rex Black-who owns New York's hottest comedy club, the Gag Reflex-realizes the zeitgeist is going to make him rich: Records! TV! Movies! A national chain! Selling stock! And indeed it rockets Rex on a wonderful trip, along with his wife Perri, A&R Joey, club booker Ashley, club manager Conor and, as his own assistant, Conor's partner Frank. Wall Street titan Siggy Brewster will handle the IPO. Circling them all, desperate for her break, her fin hardly breaking the water, is comedian Rosetta Stone. Fast, funny and heartfelt, Good People draws on the author's 1980s experience working for the original Catch a Rising Star at its peak to sum up an era of triumphs and trainwrecks.

Autor

Steven Key Meyers was born on a farm near Grand Junction, Colorado. While living in New York City, he began writing plays, and later switched to writing fiction. His novels include Good People, All That Money, Queer's Progress, The Wedding on Big Bone Hill, My Mad Russian: Three Tales and Another's Fool. He has also published a biographical study of the once-famous Indiana painter Harvey joiner, as well as a memoir, I Remember Caramoor, recounting his time as teenaged underbutler at that famous Westchester County estate. In 2018 he published a short novel, The Last Posse, making use of several strands of his Texas forebears' history, including the historic posse his great-uncle led in pursuit of outlaw Frank Hollowell, and currently he is at work on a kind of sequel called The Ringers.
