<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Zachary Arlen Post, an associate editor at "IT" magazine, has his eye on a promotion, but when Mark, an eager young man, joins the staff, Zack knows that he has met his nemesis. From fabricating a fabulous resume to back-stabbing with finesse, this deliciously wicked novel reveals what it takes to make it to the top of the masthead at one of the hottest magazines in the business.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Zachary Arlen Post is an up-and-coming editor at <i>It</i> magazine, one of the glossiest jewels in the crown of Versailles Publishing. The son of socialite parents, Zack was educated at the right schools, is an excellent golfer.... <br> Or maybe not. <br> He is really Allen Zachary Post from Long Island, a guy with a background too downmarket for someone who wants to move up the ladder at <i>It.</i> Despite his pose, Zack's ascent up the masthead has stalled, and his love life is complicated by two women: a cool English beauty with a hyphenated name and an eager, sweet-natured intern Zack could bring home to Mom. With the arrival of Mark Larkin, a determined, Harvard-educated editor who knows all the right moves, Zack's prospects for promotion grow dimmer. Mark seems to be the source of all of Zack's woes. Zack wishes Mark were dead. <br> Ted Heller has written a biting, outrageous story of how the rats that battle for dominance amid New York's skyscrapers -- or slabs -- survive and triumph, and the price they must pay to win.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review) A delightful, smart, twisted commentary on ambition, careerism, love, and modern life by the most likely newcomer since Nick Hornby to make you laugh out loud on a bus.<br><br>Bob Mack <i>GQ</i> Diabolically witty...Terrific writing...A wicked fantasia for the frustrated.<br><br>Christopher Buckley author of <i>Thank You for Smoking</i> A wickedly nifty debut by a young writer of mature comic talent....It's one hell of a fun read, and genuinely sexy, or as the magazine people it killingly depicts would put it, hot.<br><br>Jonathan Yardley <i>The Washington Post Book World</i> Uncommonly smart, funny, and dead-on....<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ted Heller</b> is the photo editor and senior writer at <i>Nickelodeon</i> magazine.
