Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Copywriter by Daniel Poppick. It’s the summer of 2017, and D__, a poet moonlighting as a copywriter at a retail start-up, feels the edges of his world fraying. His girlfriend is drifting away. The company’s new CEO is a charismatic twenty-four-year-old with more charm than experience. And the surreal aftershocks of the first year of the Trump era make everything feel slightly off-kilter, as if reality itself is beginning to dissolve.
In search of clarity, D__ starts a notebook. Inside it: dreams, fragments of memory, emails, and strange little stories he calls parables—snapshots of a life trying to make sense of itself. Over two years, through changing seasons and shifting moods, The Copywriter traces his attempt to reconcile art and labor, meaning and absurdity, ambition and collapse.
Set in the liminal space between the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, this novel asks: What does it mean to be an artist in a world that commodifies everything? How do we survive jobs that drain us? And what happens to our souls when we trade creativity for a paycheck?
