The book is addressed to people looking for a contemporary literary genre with elements of satire, along with genre fiction staples, provocative, though in order to create subversive and entertaining works.

Their longings and loyalties take us, in the course of one shattering year. Told in language as stunning for its beauty as for its verisimilitude, The Room and the Chair dazzlingly bends the conventions of literary suspense .
