Inside — Charles L. Ross

"INSIDE opens with the art director of a high-gloss shelter magazine finding the body of its editor-in-chief -- a death by poisoning. But INSIDE isn't a murder mystery. It's a biography of a magazine -- one called INSIDE. Not only does Ross show exactly how a well-toned magazine is put together, he presents a slew of characters -- decorators, photographers, editors, lovers -- who would be glad the editor-in-chief is dead.…Coolly observed, funny and touching." -- Andrew Holleran, author of Dancer from the Dance"Funny, gossipy, bitchy and oh so true, Ross's remarkably accomplished debut novel not only gets every detail of what it is like working at a successful trade magazine, he dramatizes the unimaginably petty jealousies and deviousness realistically and compellingly. INSIDE is The Devil Wears Prada of the decorating world." -- Felice Picano, author of Art & Sex in Greenwich Village
