| The creation of SLICK was a massive effort that involved copious amounts of research into the complex worlds of PR and media manipulation, not to mention hip-hop and Deaf culture. As such, I've blended a whole mess of fact into my fiction.
To help you separate the stuff that really happened from the stuff I made up, I've prepared a thorough Reader's Guide that dissects my novel chapter by chapter, and answers the questions I get most from readers.
In case you haven't figured it out, this guide is for people who've already read the book. It contains
for everyone else. So if you have any intention of reading SLICK and don't want key plot points ruined, don't be a chump. Turn back now.
The rest of you can proceed here. If there's anything you feel I haven't covered in this guide, please don't hesitate to e-mail me with your questions.
Note: the page number references contained in the guide correspond to the U.S. hardcover, U.S. softcover, and both U.K. editions of SLICK. They do not correspond to the Dutch, German or Polish translations of the novel.
