03-23-2007: We Get Fictionalized


Finally, we advertising folks get fictionalized. Joshua Ferris has taken the pain to write a book on the triumphs and tribulations of an industry in ideas flux. The last fictional story about the advertising industry was the Hollywood version of Nancy Myers' 'What Women Want'. A nightmare we always try to forget.

This time around, the effort seems promising and funny. Nick Hornby claims it as "A terrific first novel... Actually funny." And ad blogger Russell Davies gives it some good remarks here.
