McNeal

By Ayad Akhtar

Jacob McNeal just won the Nobel Prize in Literature. The award is already improving his professional life, with high expectations for his newest novel for which his longtime agent has negotiated a large advance. But McNeal's career success comes at a time of great personal turmoil. His alcoholism is spiraling out of control while his fascination with Artificial Intelligence threatens his relevance. In this drama, McNeal must figure out how far he's willing to go to tell a good story and if the value of the message outweighs its perceived truth.
