    About The Information

    Fame, envy, lust, violence, intrigues literary and criminal—they’re all here in The Information, as one of the most gifted and innovative novelists of our time explores the question, How does one writer hurt another writer?

    “Satirical and tender, funny and disturbing…wonderful.” —The New York Times

    Richard Tull’s friend Gwyn Barry has become a darling of book buyers, award committees, and TV interviewers, even as Tull himself sinks deeper into the sub-basement of literary failure. The only way out of this predicament, Tull believes, is to plot the demise of Barry.

    “A portrait of middle-age realignment with more verbal felicity and unbridled reach than [anyone] since Tom Wolfe forged Bonfire of the Vanities” (Houston Chronicle).
