At the age of fifty, Willy Muller, ghost-writer of celebrity memoirs, is a veteran of suffering and disaster. He has survived imprisonment for murdering his wife, years of venomous hate mail from the British public and, most recently, the suicide of his daughter Sadie. Willy wants a rest. But he's not going to get one. While recuperating from a heart attack in a bad-taste Mexican villa with his magnificently silly girlfriend Penny and his vodka-drenched friend Harry, Willy finds himself drawn into the lonely world of his late daughter's diaries. He should be working on an adaptation of his infamous hack-memoir, To Have and to Hold, but instead he reluctantly embarks on a journey into his own past and a confrontation with the troubling secrets that lie buried there. Set in Mexico, Los Angeles and London, Everything You Know is a story of loving and loathing, sex and death, and one misanthrope's unlikely path to redemption. By turns excoriatingly witty and achingly sad, Zoe Heller's novel marks the debut of a strikingly original literary talent.
