Description

What's with Baum? delivers the sharp, neurotic humor that fans of Woody Allen expect, wrapped in a novel format that reads like one of his films. The Telegraph calls it a wonderful novel, while The Standard praises it as a classic portrait by the author himself. Follow Asher Baum, a middle-aged Jewish journalist turned novelist, as his anxiety spirals into a frantic quest to make sense of everyone's lives. His turgid philosophical books earn tepid reviews, and a #MeToo takedown adds pressure, producing a cascade of good gags and poignant moments. Readers get a witty, self-aware look at modern creative struggle, perfect for fans of contemporary fiction and satire. The Guardian notes the compelling blend of comedy and melancholy, making the book a fresh voice in today's literary scene. New store stock from Swift Press ensures you receive a pristine copy ready to spark conversation and laughter. Add it to your collection for an unforgettable literary experience.
