Larry David Code

During the latter part of the 20th century a writer/producer named Larry David co-created a fabulously successful comedy television series by the name of It''s All About Nothing (Seinfeld) and later starred in his own series, It''s All About Me (Curb Your Enthusiasm). They were tremendous hits and made Larry into a mega-millionaire and true comedy icon. I adore that Larry David. I watched him during his pre-icon days on the Catch a Rising Star stage in New York City where his clever sometimes peculiar material may have not received roaring approval of the audience but it got me. Got me right in the place that vindicated risk. He was special and I knew it the first moment I saw him. As he grew into a larger than life (due to a suspected growth hormone), architect of unique comedy programming that drew immense following, I realized that even the most personal work can touch the masses.This book is not about that Larry David. This story is a purely fabricated account of a character whose life mimics closely that of the nonfictional Larry David. In effect, this story takes place in a universe where some people and events may seem similar to the world you live in, but despite what might be your distorted view of reality, this story involves characters and events purely fictional.In fact, even though you are reading this today, which is not 2005, the story you are reading takes place in early 2005 around a year and a half before the middle of 2006.________________________It shocked Hollywood to its very core.Superstar producer of the fabulously successful television series Seinfeld and his own neurotic star vehicle, Curb Your Enthusiasm, the all-around, bon vivant, creative savant, Larry David, had been murdered and all evidence pointed to a pedestrian comedy writer whose greatest success was in writing a book on failure, a subject its author knew intimately. In an absurdist spoof, the great comedy writers of Hollywood are being murdered and it''s up to a nearly anonymous scribe to solve the mystery lest the crimes be put on his resume making finding a television staff writer position even more difficult than being over forty. Follow the ever-escalating trail of bizarre murders and mayhem through a labyrinth of twists and turns that not only threatens to end the sitcom industry, but in its wake uncovers a world-wide conspiracy that intends to undermine the very future of mankind as we''ve known it and at the same time fashions a far longer than need be, convoluted, run-on, comma-spliced sentence.I like to call it ... THE LARRY DAVID CODE!
