Love Me

When Larry Wyler's first novel becomes a hit, he leaves his wife, Iris, behind, buys a Manhattan apartment with a fabulous terrace, and moves into an office at The New Yorker among writers he admires and the great editor William Shawn. But Wyler's followup novel bombs badly and then comes a long spell of writer's block. Wyler despairs until out of nowhere comes an invitation to write a newspaper advice column, "Ask Mr. Blue" - a low rung on the literary ladder, but writing commonsense advice to the lonely and frustrated provides a much-needed distraction and initiates Larry's own long recovery. As he doles out wisdom Wyler slowly, painfully finds a measure of clarity for his own life and sets out to win back his wife's affections.Keillor, Garrison is the author of 'Love Me', published 2004 under ISBN 9781594130373 and ISBN 159413037X.
