Summary |
Max Barry returns with the novel that started it all the hilarious and biting, cult sensation Syrup. Scat is young, confused, and underemployed with dreams of being rich, shallow, and famous. So when he comes up with a million-dollar marketing idea for a hot new brand of cola, he's sure he's found his ticket to the Los Angeles fast lane. But in the treacherous waters of corporate America there is no sure thing and suddenly Scat has to save, not only his brilliant idea but, his yet-to-be-realised career. With the help of scarily beautiful and brainy 6 who has all the angles Scat so desperately desires he sets out on a mission to reclaim the fame and fortune that, time and again, elude him. Outrageously funny, smart, and hip, Syrup is a hilarious send-up of marketing, celebrity, corporate and sexual politics, and the lengths to which a young man will go to get ahead and get a date. |
