Getting Along Famously

A comedy about a novelist who decides to become a serious writer to the dismay of his family and friends. "Harry Leeby is] the fabulously successful author of 16 spy novels about a James Bond-like hero named Axel Troy. GETTING ALONG FAMOUSLY is about what happens when Harry decides to kill off Axel in novel No. 17. Tired of creating bestselling potboilers, Harry now wants to write 'one good book' worthy of Dickens and Hemingway. This plan is bitterly opposed by Harry's agent, who has pocketed ten percent of the enormous fortune generated by the spy novels. The agent's arguments are seconded by the dashing movie star who has made his own killing by playing Axel in the film versions of Harry's books." -The New York Times This description may be from another edition of this product.
