"Caleb Horowitz is twenty-seven, and his wildest dreams are about to come true. His manuscript has caught the attention of the literary agent, who offers him fame, fortune, and a taste of the literary life. He can't wait for his book to be shopped around to every editor in New York, except one: Avi Dietsch, a college rival and the novel's "inspiration." When Avi gets his hands on it, he sees nothing but theft -- and opportunity. Caleb is forced to make a Faustian bargain, one that tests his theories of success, ambition, and the limits of art. Last Resort is the razor-edged account of a young man's headlong journey into authenticity. As Caleb fights to right his mistakes and reclaim his name, he must burn every bridge, confront his own desire, and finally see his work from the perspective of those locked inside." -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The premise of this story was good (although similar to 'The Plot', which I much preferred) and the beginning was promising. However, it gradually became clear that Caleb was an extremely annoying, entirely self-absorbed narcissist, and we spent the whole novel in his head, so by the end I was glad it was over. I enjoyed the moment when Caleb's machinations backfire on him spectacularly, but it was surrounded by long stretches of boring pondering by Caleb about what would make him happy. Sandra had no discernible personality, and the ending was plain weird. ( )
