Just Desserts

A "novellah" by Carl Reiner (the interviewer of The 2000-Year-Old Man), this book chronicles the adventures of Nat, a perfectly sane author who talks to himself. He hit a slump after his last novel, but when he jokingly CCs an emailed book pitch to God he finds God enacting some of the book character's recommendations for a better world. Clever, sharp, and very very meta (the publisher notes that a Reiner parody has already submitted the book idea), I think that anyone with a good appreciation for comedy and a massive suspension of disbelief--as well as the stomach for a very warped version of the Literary Agent Hypothesis--will find it highly enjoyable.
