When Scat comes up with the idea for the hottest new soda ever, he’s sure he’ll retire as the next savvy marketing success story. But in the treacherous waters of corporate America, there
are no sure things.
Suddenly Scat finds himself scrambling to save not only his idea, but his yet-to-be-realized career. With the help of a scarily beautiful and brainy girl called 6, he sets out on a mission to
reclaim the fame and fortune that, time and again, elude him.
This brilliant debut is a scathingly hilarious send-up of celebrity, sexual politics, corporate America, and the fleeting status that comes with getting to the table first—before the other guy has
you for lunch.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Scott Brick handily delivers Barry’s zany story of marketing and corporate politics…Brick has a ball bringing these unlikely combatants to a wacky climax. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“A deft, satirical indictment of an industry that makes its living pushing satire, Syrup is understandably deep in hip meta references. What distinguishes the novel from, say, a Thomas Frank-style critique is that it never gets mushy, even after Scat lands the girl.” —Spin
“Barry’s delightful first novel delivers a charming and hilarious send-up of the wicked world of marketing…This terrific comic novel is certain to provoke as many belly laughs in print as it might one day on screen.” —Booklist
Maxx Barry is a survivor from the trenches of corporate marketing and has taught the subject at two major Australian universities. This is his first novel.
