John Lincoln is a book editor miserably ensconced at Pistakee, a dinky Chicago publisher. His overwhelming ambition is to flee the bland, over polite Midwest and land in New Yorkâwhere, he imagines, heâll work with real writers; brandish success at his skeptical, patrician East Coast parents; and experience again the glories of a city where, with âevery block, every step,â he will find something interesting and exciting.
What he needs is a hot bestseller, and he finds his vehicle in Amy OâMalley, a recent University of Chicago grad whoâs worked on the schoolâs famous sex survey. With Lincolnâs prodding and guidance, Amy writes a sex-filled novel that draws on her experience. Her book indeed opens doors for Lincolnâbut not in the way he imagined. Meanwhile, a professor of happiness studies at a local college blackmails him into publishing his fantastically mundane poetry.
Reminiscent of Richard Russoâs Straight Man, Are You Happy Now? is a comic novel about the hard work of understanding what it is you want.
