Meta-SF novel, a fictional biography of SF writer Jeff Lint, following his career from 1940s pulps through unsuccessful Star Trek scripts to Hollywood success in the 1990s. • Thunder's Mouth Press has a description, but you'll have to use the 'catalog search' link to find it, since the site doesn't seem to allow linking to specific pages.
• The author's website has this page about the book, with blurbs from Alan Moore and Michael Moorcock.
• Amazon's page reproduces Publishers Weekly's review: "Informed SF readers, particularly Philip K. Dick fans, will enjoy British author Aylett's laugh-out-loud (mock) biography of (fictitious) cult writer Jeff Lint, though the dense prose, rife with odd word juxtapositions, can be daunting. ..."
• Rick Kleffel posted this review. Jeff VanderMeer in his blog last month enthused about the book and posed five questions to the author.
