Fiction. Arthur Nersesian's latest novel is a satiric thriller that takes an amusing view of America's predilection for the superficial over the relevant, and celebrity excitement over real news. Things have not been going well for journalist Sandy Bloomgarten. Her job went down the drain and her marriage quickly followed. After a lengthy bender, she awakens one morning to the stark realization that she is flat broke. Nonetheless, she's still a crack reporter and when a tabloid offers her a freelance assignment in Memphis—just a stone's throw from her childhood home in Mesopotamia, Tennessee—she takes it.
