The Storyteller

A young man pursues the life of his dreams, finding fulfillment and emptiness in this coming of age novel from the New York Times–bestselling author.

Joe Crowne is a poor boy from Brooklyn with a burning ambition to write . . . to be a storyteller.

Thanks to natural street smarts and ruthless ambition, Joe tears himself free from a world of gangsters, drug dealers, prostitutes, and pimps. In his sights is the unmatched glamour of Hollywood . . . the dolce vita of Europe . . . and all the glitter and self-indulgence that comes with success. Yet as much as Joe wants fame, excess, and easy sex, he hungers for real love.

The Storyteller is a ticket to the hidden fantasy world of beautiful people, to luxury and desire . . . it is the story of a brilliant young man whose every American dream came true.
