A wickedly funny and provocative debut novel about the passions and perils of the writing life that the Los Angeles Times calls "irresponsibly intoxicating."

Set in Manhattan and the Hamptons, Lit Life takes us on a romp through the world of two writers. Kyle Clayton is a "once-hot-now-not" young author/provocateur who moves through New York nightlife in an inebriated haze until he meets his literary hero, the dyspeptic and obscure novelist Richard Whitehurst, who is smitten with the notion of Kyle's former fame. Whitehurst is suffering his own form of breakdown, due to years of public ambivalence toward his work and the neglect of his marriage. As the two forces collide, they each find in the other the crutch has been seeking.

Wenzel's savvy, assured writing and strong sense of irony drive the book and the hilarity that ensues.
