You graduate from the Iowa Writers' Workshop with a short story
published in The New Yorker and subsequently The Best American
Short Stories. You stay in town and work on your novel. And work on
your novel. And work on your novel. And then twelve years have
passed and you are now working as a media escort for author tours
and your unfinished novel sits in a box under your bed. Your
girlfriend has left you. Your car is missing a muffler. Your
neighbor is walking around naked because his hands are bandaged and
he can't unzip his pants. You are at the whims of a slew of
increasingly crazy writers, and when one of them disappears, an
insane New York publicist begins stalking you. This is the life of
Jack Hercules Sheahan, a character well understood by author John
McNally. He is also a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, as
well as a former media escort, and these misadventures are brought
to life by the author's very own. Recalling the ease and humor of
novels by Nick Hornby and Michael Chabon, After the Workshop tells
the satirical story of a writer who confronts the demons from his
past while escorting those of his present.
