"One of 2012's most enjoyable novels." Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times"This is a dark, sharp, very funny novel about imprisonment, torture and the dangerous pleasures of stories." Zoe Heller, Notes on a Scandal"Seth Kaufman's novel is a hoot and a boot, a zany, unsettling, satisfying, post postmodern, tragiccomic tour of prisons around the world and pain in the human heart. Start it and you won't stop. If you're a claustrophobe, read it outofdoors." John Darnton, NeaderthalA riotously funny portrait of an outofcontrol entertainment mogul and a devastating look at torture and imprisonment, The King of Pain is part Jennifer Egan, part Italo Calvino, part "Entourage," and 100% marvelous.Rick Salter expects to be hated; after all, hes the mind behind the outrageousand outrageously successfulreality TV show about torture, The King of Pain.

Rick has 48 long hours ahead of him until his housekeeper will come to his rescue and nothing to pass the time except pain, bad memoriesand a strange book he finds lying beside him. Called A History of Prisons, it is written by one Seth Kaufman, and it seems mysteriously relevant to Ricks predicament
