"An 'insider's' narrative account of the ghost-writing business. 'Nemo' describes many real events in Randolph's career, but all are altered to disguise the identity of the participants. See, for example, the account of 'What I Know about Etiquette' (pp.14-16), which may bear some relationship to the mysterious 'Etiquette for Everybody' manuscript. 'Nemo' also prints a list of known ghost-writers, including Sinclair Lewis and Vance Randolph (p. 24)" - Cochran & Luster.
