About Eat Wheaties!: A Wry Novel Of Celebrity, Fandom And
When affable computer salesman Sid Straw sends an innocent letter requesting an autographed photo from his former college classmate, the popular and cultish Hollywood actress Heather Locklear (Melrose Place, Spin City), he has no idea that his life will soon be spiraling out of control—costing his job, draining his finances, foiling his romantic designs on a co-worker, and leaving his entire world in ruins . . . Until he decides to fight back. Told through a series of one-sided correspondences with the television star, his bosses, his girlfriend, and various lawyers and PR representatives, Eat Wheaties! is a farcical look at celebrity in today’s society. A charming, laugh-out-loud novel (originally published as The Locklear Letters), Eat Wheaties! has been adapted for a major motion picture starring Tony Hale (Veep, Arrested Development), Elisha Cuthbert (24, Happy Endings), Paul Walter Hauser (Da 5 Bloods, Richard Jewell), Danielle Brooks (Orange Is The New Black), Alan Tudyk (Dodgeball, Firefly) and Sarah Chalke (Scrubs, Roseanne). Praise for Eat Wheaties!

Ever!” —Pat O’Brien, Access Hollywood “Its air of droll desperation and sweetly uplifting finale are perfect for those sweltering days when tackling anything more substantial would bring up a sweat.” —The Village Voice “Kun’s lighthearted humor pokes clever fun at our ongoing obsession with fame and celebrity.” —Publishers Weekly About the Author Michael Kun is the author of works of fiction and non-fiction. Among other recognitions, his novel You Poor Monster was a Barnes and Noble “Discover Great New Writers” selection and was chosen as “Book of the Year” by Baltimore. Praise for Michael Kun “Rarely is a first novel as graceful, polished and mature as this debut… it resonates with bittersweet insights …. This novel deserves serious attention as the herald of a truly interesting new voice.” Publishers Weekly “A writer in the vein of J.D. Salinger.” The Richmond Times-Dispatch “The sensitivity and depth with which [Kun] portrays his main character would do justice to a seasoned author...” Cleveland Plains Dealer “This is an exceptional novel that a Hollywood mogul would be wise to read.” The Pittsburgh Press “The novel retains a bittersweet integrity that elevates it.” Entertainment Weekly
