His mama got knocked up one hot Hollywood night by Cary Grant.
Or maybe it was John Wayne.
She isn't quite sure as she was quite snockered at the time.
It was all a big fat blur from which came a big fat bastard.
So, not sure who the daddy is, she names her fourteen-pound-four-ounce bubbling, blubbery baby after both: Wayne Grant.
One would think that a lad with such pedigree would grow up to be a handsome hunk and get into pictures. But his is not a face like Cary Grant's. Nor is his body even closely resembling John Wayne's.
But try telling this homely schnook, this delusional doofus, this portly putz, as he doggedly auditions for handsome leading-man roles and becomes the laughing stock of Tinseltown.
Enter Wayne's world and discover the most unusual lap dancers, rhyming ruffians, looney goons, conniving cons, flimflam scams, murder, mayhem, misfits, moguls, megastars, mishuginahs—and the world's most handsome man!
You'll also discover Hollywood's seedy underbelly—and many a belly laugh.

Praise for THE WORLD'S MOST HANDSOME MAN:
“If Elmore Leonard wrote a 30's screwball comedy set in the lowlife crime world of 90’s L.A. it might have come out like THE WORLD'S MOST HANDSOME MAN. Yes, it’s that weird. You should take this ride.” — Christopher Moore,
NY Times Bestselling Author of LAMB and FOOL
“Madcap and wicked: a very funny novel." —T. C. Boyle, Pen/Faulkner Award-winning Author of WORLD’S END, DROP CITY and THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE
“Bravo!! What a whacky, crazy, funny story. I finished it laughing.” —Elizabeth McKenzie, author of STOP THAT GIRL
“Trouble with most novelists is their dialogue. Not this time. Edwin
Heaven gets it right.” —Lawrence Ferlinghetti, author of A CONEY ISLAND OF THE MIND
“A sweet, shameless wisecracking wonder of a book ... a little bit West, a
little bit Toole, a little bit Robbins—the rest is pure Heaven!” —John Hawkes, Oscar-nominated film star, Winter's Bone; Me and You and Everyone We Know; Deadwood; American Gangster,
“Look out world, Edwin Heaven is the next big thing in modern-day
literature. He’s every superlative I can think of: funny, intelligent,
twisted, perverted. The World’s Most Handsome Man is from the mind
of a demented genius.”—Marshal Terrill, author of STEVE MCQUEEN: PORTRAIT OF AN AMERICAN REBEL
