fall under?
Absurdist/surrealistic

synopsis of your book?
Through a series of
unfortunate events a common man is transformed into an artist.

write the first draft of the manuscript?
Still working on the first
draft, but it will probably take about a year to complete.

write this book?
Society and various people
in my life.
What else about your book
might pique the reader’s interest?
If you have an interest in
books that explore various aspects of society, relationships, art, work, and
what it means to be human in a way that's not too serious and borderline soap opera like then your interest might
be piqued.
Will your book be
self-published or represented by an agency?
Probably self-published
because my last book was denied representation by pretty much every agent I
could think of.
