Listened to audiobook a few years ago but have completely forgotten what happens

To answer OP’s question, probably because it’s /lit/ but it’s short. Zoomers can’t read real books

Don’t know
I read it years ago.
Funny but not particularly deep.
F Scott on cocaine instead of bathtub gin.

Bret wrote him into Lunar Park
In the book, Jay tries his to convince Bret to get off of his self destructive path and get clean. But within a few pages Jay is snorting lines with Bret and wanders off to go skinny dipping in the swimming pool in front of dozens of shocked partygoers including Bret’s wife and stepchildren
Sadly it’s all fiction.
Allegedly Jay was not amused.
I was though.

That's pretty funny, not surprising he was offended considering BLBC is such a maudlin self-serious book

it's less about hedonism and more about loss

I didn’t mean that, but that zoomers only recommend short or YA books usually
