[minor wear only to book; the jacket is faded at the spine, otherwise just lightly edgeworn]. An early novel about the television business, "as timely as tomorrow's radio or TV show, as tough as the hucksters who plan it and as dynamic as the airwaves that broadcast their sugared banalities to a waiting America. [It's] a penetrating study of an industry and a frame of mind." The titular character, a "beloved humorist" who performed on both radio and TV and (of course) "exists only in the author's imagination," actually dies less than fifty pages into the book; the rest of the book concerns the efforts of his network, and of the numerous people who functioned in the shadow of his success, to deal with his passing and his complicated legacy.
