Description

George Wren has dreamed of working at The Outsider, a prestigious weekly edited by his hero, Gilbert Twining. He takes a junior editor job, finding himself in the cutthroat arena of a small-circulation magazine. The Outsider is seething with malcontents and mutineers, according to Twining, who confides his anxieties to George. George wonders if Twining is paranoid or if his office-mates are plotting an insurrection, and what his role in it is.
