Harry, Revised is a novel by Mark Sarvas. This book published by Bloomsbury USA in 2008. Harry, Revised has already sold in 12 countries around the world & garnered praise from some of the finest fiction writers working today...
Following his wife's untimely death, Harry tries to reinvent himself. Over lunch at his local greasy spoon he meets Molly, a raven-haired, twenty-two-years old waitress with whom, after a brief conversation about a Monte Cristo sandwich he is instantly smitten. Too unsure of himself to take the direct approach with her, he decides to transform the life of her over-weight, chunky co-worker Lucille, hopping that his escalating good deeds will win him Molly's heart...
At once deeply moving & darkly comedic, Harry, Revised is an fascinating novel about the measure of a man's worth.

Roger & Bethany seek refuge in Roger's literary work-in-progress, Glove Pond. Their mutual nihilism festers while restocking office supplies at a Staples superstore.

He is trying to make enough money to pay the mortgage on his Van Nuys house, keep his wife happy & throw a decent bar mitzvah for his son.Desperation sets in when he finds himself out of work. The bills keep piling up, sending him upwards of $80,000 in debt. Suddenly his bad-boy brother Julian dies & leaves him a dry cleaning shop. Marcus son discovers that the business is a front for a very lucrative West Hollywood escort service. Marcus justifies his new line of work to himself by saying he'll just keep it going for 2 years - time to get his finances back in the black, & find a new respectable career...
To his surprise, Marcus discovers that he's quite good at making a living as a "family-value" pimp. He expands his business & sets up his girls with paid vacations, 401 (K) plans, and health coverage. But soon Marcus get in some hysterically funny & wild rollercoaster ride.
Seth Greenland has sold the film right to Shining City to Warner Brothers in a million dollar deal. Former New Yorker, Seth now lives in Los Angeles.
