Horner, Laurie
The Half That Works
Dave, unassuming and probably a bit too nice, is designated technically competent - insult of all insults for any aspiring artist. He hopelessly fancies fellow student, Jessica, beautiful and manipulative, who always seems to succeed where he has failed. When Jessica achieves fame overnight, Dave plots revenge on both her and the artistic establishment that she embodies. But his plan backfires, with bizarre and far-reaching consequences. A satire full of acidic wit and memorable characters, THE HALF THAT WORKS pokes fun at the dual pretensions of modern art and advertising; and demonstrates the stunning new talent of a born writer.
