Description
Simon is not a particularly successful novelist. Truth be told, he is decidedly second rate. And so it seems absolutely appropriate that he is invited to the Greek Isle of Skagathos to teach overly enthusiastic would-be writers who have about as much chance of publishing a book as Simon has of winning the Booker Prize. The summer colony, of which the writers are a part, has taken the tenets of the new age to heart, whether in pursuit of the ever-elusive orgasm or finding the magic key that will unlock their inner creativity. And Simon, as polite as he is randy, cannot quite bring himself to explain to his students that there is no necessary connection between the price of one's computer and the quality of one's writing.
