Begin to Exit Here: A Novel of the Wayward Press

Kurt Clausen has worked as a salad girl， a porn salesman， and - prehaps most reluctantly - a journalist. In this "terminally irreverent" (<i>Richmond News-Leader</i>) novel， he finds himself taking on everyone from his editor and his girlfriend to the fundamentalists and vegetarians covered on his beat - and along the way， learns some surprising (and hilarious) lessons about life， love， and the press. <br><br> <br>? Welter's <i>I Want to Buy a Vowel</i>， also a Berkley Signature Edition， was named one of <i>Booklist's</i> Best Books of 1996. <br>? Great reviews in the Berkley Signature Edition tradition. <br>? The author has been compared to everyone from John Irving to Jonathan Swift， Frank Capra to Carl Hiaasen， John Kennedy Toole to Dave Barry.
