An Authentic Derivative: A Novel

Cynical graphic designer Neil Oberlin has moved to Nashville as one of many over-educated millennials trying to craft authentic lives for themselves. When he gets hold of a ticket to see Sedgwick live ("an over-reflective, hyper-self-ware, ungrateful artist, garrulous about his own craft"), our supercilious narrator is reluctantly thrust into a quest to design the perfect album cover. However, Neil's proximity to the brooding, fickle musician is compounding his own anxieties. Haunted by his stifling religious upbringing and the uncertainty of his future, our self-deprecating narrator begins to grow paranoid. -- Book Cover
