Reality: The Novel
The reality for Trent Tucker, the lead character in comedian Jeff Havens’ Reality: The Novel, is that he, like a good many of us, abhors reality television.
The reality for poor, idealistic, altruistic Trent, though, is that he works at Nova Consulting, a firm that creates reality shows with one goal in mind: make the raunchiest stuff possible that the FCC will allow.
Interestingly enough, the cast of characters that are employed at Nova include a dumb blonde, an angry black man, flamboyant homosexual, frosty bitch, fast-talking Sicilian and their megalomaniacal boss, PT Beauregard.
Everyone at Nova is out to get ahead, no matter what the cost. In other words, not the kind of crowd with whom you would want to find your self trapped on a deserted island – which is exactly how they find themselves – involved in a murder plot.
Backstabbing, plotting, lying and various and sundry nefarious bits of intrigue ensue in this incisive parody of modern pop culture and office politics that you must read from cover to cover – especially as the book gets progressively better as it goes along.
