Nasty Business

Nasty Business is an expos in the form of a novel. Two talented ambitious men battle for success in the viciously competitive world of Madison Ave. One, a brain-scarred war veteran, searching for the well-paying, socially acceptable job his former lover demands if they are to reunite. The other aims to learn the ropes of TV advertising before he moves in to accumulate power by building his own media empire.
The novel was written by Sandy Margalith who has seen the amusing side of it all in his fifty-year ad career.

"Margalith crafts well-paced, well-observed comic scenes. . . The result feels like a three-way collision between Mad Men, The Producers and Animal House, and a hilariously noisy one at that. A raucous, entertaining sendup of Madison Avenue's unique blend of artistic pretension and desperate crassness." - Kirkus Reviews
