Three years after his mother’s murder, seventeen-year-old Justin can barely function. His father, on the other hand, has written a best-selling book about the crime and scored his own cable television talk show. America may be ready for a mega-marketing blitz of Justin’s murdered mom, but he isn’t. Gina Gionfriddo’s scathing satire takes on our media’s obsession with victims and violence in a hilariously penetrating fashion.
