Yasmin Selena Butt, author of Gunshot Glitter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A touch of Keith Waterhouse. Spinning Out of Control is a fine comic novel, and a worthy satire of today's media - both local and national... there are even poignant moments of loss.' Jon Bounds, Paradisecircus.com and author of Pier Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpinning Out of Control is a satire about the media and what it's done to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Wroxham is a hard-nosed, hard-living London PR. This morally bankrupt young publicist has one week to make a nobody from Birmingham famous - and get his old job back. Tom gets intoxicated with a despicable circus of broadsheet journalists, tabloid hacks, bloggers, editors, interns, comedians, models, DJs, showbiz show-offs, artists, TV and radio lever pullers, music industry narcissists, business big shots, eccentric publishers, corrupt politicians, media-manipulating upstarts, and assorted atomised freeloaders. Tom's job is to spin - but he's the one spinning out of control. Can he find redemption in the most unexpected place?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis debut novel by British writer Christopher Beanland is an unsettling comedy of celebrity-obsessed, consumerist times. And it's funnier than that sounds (hopefully). Everyone's selling themselves - even authors, for f***'s sake.
