Great stories simply must make their way into the world, no matter who does the telling. Or so believes Jake Finch Bonner, the author of Crib, a runaway bestseller. The problem: the plot is not his idea. And Jake has to deal with that gut-churning reality soon enough. The dramatic story-within-a-story constantly shifts focus to reveal a cunning plot of its own, complete with a gasp-inducing twist toward the very end. The novel raises issues of the ownership of art while sketching a compelling arc. Surefire movie material, possibly directed by an A-list director — which would be Jake’s dream.
