Synopsis
To claim his late father's fortune, Joshua King must first write a best-selling novel within the next five years, but Joshua would rather spend his life traveling, taking drugs, growing his hair, and enjoying the dirty Delhi flophouse where he is living and where he encounters the mysterious, perhaps mystical Baba, who could prove to be the inspiration for a major bestseller. A first novel. Original. 25,000 first printing.

About the Author
Every writer dreams of producing a literary work that defines his or her generation. For J.D. Salinger, it was The Catcher in the Rye; for Alex Garland, The Beach. But for Will Rhode, it's, well, something like The Beach-but different. Born in London, Rhode has worked for Reuters in India, made films in Thailand, and wrote financial journalism in Hong Kong. He worked as the editor of Risk, a financial magazine, until he worked up the courage to quit and write a paperback original.

Paperback. Condition: Collectible-Very Good. Joshua King has more reasons than most young writers to produce that Great First Novel-and they're sitting in his father's bank account. Before dying of a tragic Viagra overdose, Josh's father put a stipulation in his will: Josh cannot claim his fortune unless he writes a bestselling novel in the next five years. The last thing Josh wants is a purpose in life: he's far too busy traveling, taking drugs, and growing his hair. He's very uncomfortably ensconced in a dirty Delhi flophouse, but it's the perfect place to meet drifters and druggies, users and seekers-the kind of people who know how to find Baba.
