Soul for Sale

About this book

Soul for Sale is the compelling and hugely entertaining story of Creative Director Terry Wilson and his colleagues at Cracknell, Burroughs & Partners - an award-winning, pressure-cooker of an agency filled with high-maintenance creative talent, high-profit le clients and bare-knuckle politics. Whether you work in advertising or just watch commercials on TV, you'll laugh, cry and ultimately recognize the Terry in yourself as he struggles to reconcile life in the demanding, insular, self-referential, surreal ad world...with life itself. In this remarkable debut novel, Jay Williams has deftly captured virtually all there is to say about the choices we sometimes make and the challenges of life inside - as well as outside - the weird and wonderful world of advertising.
