    DESCRIPTION:     

    Hailed as "breathtakingly suspenseful," Jean Hanff Korelitz’s The Plot is a propulsive read about a story too good not to steal, and the writer who steals it.
    Jacob Finch Bonner was once a promising young novelist with a respectably published first book. Today, he’s teaching in a third-rate MFA program and struggling to maintain what’s left of his self-respect; he hasn’t written―let alone published―anything decent in years. When Evan Parker, his most arrogant student, announces he doesn’t need Jake’s help because the plot of his book in progress is a sure thing, Jake is prepared to dismiss the boast as typical amateur narcissism. But then . . . he hears the plot.
    Jake returns to the downward trajectory of his own career and braces himself for the supernova publication of Evan Parker’s first novel: but it never comes. When he discovers that his former student has died, presumably without ever completing his book, Jake does what any self-respecting writer would do with a story like that―a story that absolutely needs to be told.
    In a few short years, all of Evan Parker’s predictions have come true, but Jake is the author enjoying the wave. He is wealthy, famous, praised and read all over the world. But at the height of his glorious new life, an e-mail arrives, the first salvo in a terrifying, anonymous campaign: You are a thief, it says.
    As Jake struggles to understand his antagonist and hide the truth from his readers and his publishers, he begins to learn more about his late student, and what he discovers both amazes and terrifies him. Who was Evan Parker, and how did he get the idea for his “sure thing” of a novel? What is the real story behind the plot, and who stole it from whom?

    "As a longtime fan of Korelitz’s novels (including ‘You Should Have Known,’ which was made into HBO’s ‘The Undoing’), I will say that I think ‘The Plot’ is her gutsiest, most consequential book yet." – Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

     

    “The plot of ‘The Plot’ is so ingenious that it should be assigned as required reading in the very MFA programs it pinions, both as a model of superior narrative construction and as a warning of the grim realities of the literary life to naive wannabe writers.” – Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post

     

    “‘The Plot’ is wickedly funny and chillingly grim, and like the novel Evan hoped to create, it deserves to garner all the brass rings.” – Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal

     

    The Plot is one of the best novels I’ve ever read about writers and writing. It’s also insanely readable and the suspense quotient is through the roof. It’s remarkable.” – Stephen King

     

    "The Plot is so well-crafted and compelling it’s nearly impossible to put down. Clever and chilling, this page-turner grabs you from the first chapter and doesn’t let you go until its startling, breath-taking conclusion." ― Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, New York Times bestselling authors of The Wife Between Us

     

    “Deep character development, an impressively thick tapestry of intertwining story lines, and a candid glimpse into the publishing business make this a page-turner of the highest order. Korelitz deserves acclaim for her own perfect plot.”―Publishers Weekly (STARRED Review)

     

    "From its first pages, Jean Hanff Korelitz’s The Plot ensnares you in a rich tangle of literary vanities, treachery and fraud. Psychologically acute and breathtakingly suspenseful, you’ll find yourself rushing towards a finale both astonishing and utterly earned." - Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Give Me Your Hand

     

    “[A] propulsive tale of deceit and betrayal” – O Magazine

     

    “[A] wickedly clever tale of stolen genius.” – LitHub

     

    “[A] satisfyingly twisty thriller… Gripping and thoroughly unsettling: This one will be flying off the shelves.” – Kirkus

     

    "Jean Hanff Korelitz’s riveting novel is a story within a story that is a Rubik’s Cube of twists. Jake Finch Bonner is living a life he never expected. Instead of fame and fortune, this once-promising young author is teaching MFA seminars at an obscure university and barely making ends meet. Then abrasive, self-important Evan Parker arrives in Jake’s class with a one-of-a-kind plot that he’s confident will rocket him into the kind of success and stardom enjoyed by few in the literary world. And once Jake hears that story, he knows Evan is right, and Jake’s jealousy and self-pity are palpable. But Evan Parker doesn’t publish that book—Jake Bonner does. And someone knows whose plot he stole. Korelitz’s psychological thriller keeps the reader guessing even when the answers seem clear, and when the final piece clicks into place, what you see is the last thing you’d expect." — Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review

     

    “Korelitz, author of the smash-hit You Should Have Known (2014), effortlessly deconstructs the campus novel and, much like Michael Chabon in Wonder Boys (1995), acerbically mocks the publishing industry. Fearless Korelitz presents a wry and unusual joyride of a thriller full of gasp-inducing twists as it explores copyright, ownership, and the questionable morals of writers.” – Booklist

     

    “Not every 350-page novel can be torn through in a weekend, but readers may find themselves batting away sleep and setting an alarm for early the next day to continue Jean Hanff Korelitz’s propulsive literary thriller, The PlotThe Plot is an ingenious piece of storytelling…Korelitz is an audacious writer who delivers on her promises. Her next big-screen adaptation surely awaits.” – BookPage

     

    "Fans of slow-burn, character-driven thrillers will enjoy this story of an author who has a secret he is desperately trying to keep." – Library Journal

     

    “To say the end of the story is a real twist would be a huge understatement and certainly an ending that was not expected. The Plot is hard to put down and worth the (short) time it takes to read it.” – Judith Reveal, New York Journal of Books

     

    “a droll, elegantly written satirical moan about the vexations and temptations of the struggling writer’s life”

    “it’s smart, surprising and stealthily unsettling” reviewed in The Sunday Times

    Financial Times review (attached) 

    “Hanff Korelitz, a veteran of the literary and academic scenes herself, knows how to make them acutely funny.”

     

    “Both a witty satire of the writing and publishing world with much insider knowledge and a tense thriller about jealousy and retribution, this unputdownable read has echoes of Gillian Flynn, Patricia Highsmith and Stephen King, with a surfeit of suspense and characters with secrets, as well as being a true to life X-ray of the way writers’ minds work and, having not read Jean Hanff Korelitz’s earlier books, took me by complete surprise. And yes: the stolen plot twist at the core of the story does come as a major surprise!” Crime Time
