Summary Courtesy of Goodreads:

A new novel by bestselling author Nicholson Baker reintroduces feckless but hopeful hero Paul Chowder, whose struggle to get his life together is reflected in his steadfast desire to write a pop song, or a protest song, or both at once.

How about that first and second line?  As I work on my back log of ARCs
