Publisher's Summary

Sepp Gregory, a reality-TV hunk and one of People magazine's "sexiest men alive", is on tour to promote his debut novel. Not that Sepp's actually read the book - he doesn't have to. He lived it! And everyone just wants him to take his shirt off. The book has hit the best-seller list and is even getting rave reviews from serious critics. Aside from Harriet Post, that is.

One of the blogosphere's most respected literary minds, Harriet fears that the novel's reception means the end of civilization is upon us. Determined to pen an expose on the publishing industry, Harriet hijacks the book tour and uncovers the ghostwriter. Reality and "reality" collide, and a tragic accident sends Sepp and Harriet off on a sex-fueled roadtrip through the Southwest.

Raw: A Love Story is Mark Haskell Smith at his raucous best, dangerously sexy and wickedly funny.

Critic Reviews

"By turns racy and profound, Haskell Smith writes at Mach speed about what passes for culture in today's often unreal world." ( Booklist)
"Gleefully absurd..... [Smith] turns what could have been just an amusing book into an incisive, caustic and hilarious one.... He's able to pull it off because his prose is so hard-boiled and self-assured - he comes across as the slightly more well-adjusted offspring of Hunter S. Thompson and James Ellroy.... A hilarious and - occasionally - an unexpectedly sweet illustration of why we write and read in the first place." ( Los Angeles Times)
"Audacious satire." ( Vanity Fair)
