Nate Daniels is a writer on a high-octane, lower middlebrow light entertainment TV show, Ricky Ryan's Friday Fandango. It's leaving its London home for the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York for a live Millennial Special. But out of hours he's working on a darker script, obsessively revisiting a tragedy that reawakens ghosts in his past and threatens to return him to mental meltdown. A mystery woman brings Nate news that will shake him to his core. So as he stands on the threshold of the year 2000 can he make a new start in New England? Or will life imitate bad television? Described by readers as 'funny', 'beautiful, and 'moving', Waving, Drowning is a tragicomic tale about the toxic power of trauma, the endurance of friendship, and the madness of making live TV
