PLOT بقلم Jean Hanff Korelitz ... When a young writer dies before completing his first novel, his teacher, Jake, (himself a failed novelist) helps himself to its plot. The resulting book is a phenomenal success. And if Jake can't figure out who he's dealing with, he risks something far worse than the loss of his career.
