Best-selling author Daniel Paisner makes an indelible impression with a moving and funny novel reminiscent of Carl Hiaasen and Peter Lefcourt. From its dramatic and humorous opening to its touching conclusion, Mourning Wood hooks readers with its eccentric characters and offbeat sense of humor.

“If there is anyone who could write a good novel about a ghostwriter, it’s a ghostwriter, and this novel is just a whole lot of fun. Here’s a book that, with enough word of mouth, has the makings of a cult favorite.” - Booklist
