This fall on Fox, who will write ... THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL?
Join 10 finalists as they race to write America's next great literary masterpiece! Who will emerge the victor? Will it be...
Michael Swanson, who attempts to defend his rather blatant racist propaganda as a "period piece"?
Jeffrey Gutenberg, the great, great (etc.) grandson of Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg, whose pressure to live up to his family name (which actually has very little to do with writing) drives him to his alcoholic bottom?
James Mercury, D.Litt.(honorary), whose hit children's series, Down The Dumb-Dumb Hole, has left him craving more adult fare?
Francis Lynn, who plans on rewriting Harper Lee's classic To Kill A Mockingbird entirely from the perspective of Boo Radley?
Ronald Boyle, who, until very recently, everyone believed was severely mentally handicapped?
Edwin Birch, who believes there aren't enough books about war?
Felix Wentworth, who wrote his first epic poem when he was three years old?
Declan O'Hara, who isn't really Irish?
Alfonse Lindt, who claims that Latin isn't really dead (and aims to prove it)?
...or will it be...
Bernard Gaffigan, who has "big plans" for bringing back Dark Romanticism (this time with more erotica)?
Watch in astonishment as these ten authors do whatever it takes to realize their dreams!
Experience anger but not surprise when you realize that the final ten includes neither women nor people of color!
Avert your eyes as week after week the judges mercilessly tear the contestants fresh new assholes!
Don't miss a minute of The Great American Novel (hosted by Edwin Larue, professional J.D. Salinger impersonator)!!
