Someone in this group recommended this book and I read it and I am
glad I did. It was published in 2009, making it the newest Spinrad
book I have read, and is as good as his earlier work. A comedian
from the future, or maybe a deluded person thinking he is a comedian
from the future, shows up in a run-down Catskills resort and a
theatrical agent sees something he likes. Teaming up with a new age
follower and a science fiction author they create a nationwide
television sensation. Spinrad makes some jokes at his own expense
and has a pretty cruel depiction of fandom, but the book was funny
and thoughtful and I recommend it too.
