From two-time Leacock Medal winner and bestselling author Terry Fallis comes a slim parable of a novel that imagines a world where literature rules--and one humble writer discovers that success can be the strangest fiction of all.

What if novelists were the new rock stars?

Malcolm Forde is a novelist who's made peace with the modest life of a working writer--half-empty book events, glowing reviews that don't sell books, and the quiet satisfaction of a good sentence. But after falling asleep while writing late one December night, Malcolm wakes up in a world that looks very much like his own . . . except everything has changed. Writers are now global celebrities, lit tours fill stadiums, and he's suddenly rich, adored, and world-famous.

As Malcolm is swept into a surreal whirlwind of fame--including private jets, red carpets, and rabid fans--he starts to lose touch with the quiet, solitary art that once gave his life meaning and purpose. An End in Itself is a wry, thoughtful, and deeply human satire that interrogates our obsession with celebrity and success while celebrating the enduring power of the written word.
