The Afterparty (authored by The Guardian’s Leo Benedictus) opens with an email sent from William Mendez to Valerie Morrell, a literary agent, submitting the first chapter of his novel
Publicity. It flits between the viewpoints of multiple characters (an X Factor finalist, a reclusive movie star, a drug taking ex-supermodel and a struggling journalist) and details the unfolding events of one scandalous A-list party.
As William continues to submit chapters and both
Publicity and
The Afterparty draw to an unexpected climax there are more twists and turns than an episode of 24.
