After working in advertising for 17 years, it’s no wonder that John Kenney‘s first novel is about a guy who works in advertising, or that his hilarious book trailer centers around a focus group.
Kenney’s character, Fin Dolan, is an almost-40-year-old advertising agency copywriter who just recently broke off his engagement and is tasked with producing a Super Bowl commercial for the world’s first biodegradable diaper.
Our reviewer describes Truth in Advertising as “a mature novel that veers from pathos to humor and back without a misstep.” We think its a debut definitely worth checking out.
