In 1922, three years before the publication of his masterpiece, F. Scott Fitzgerald declared, "I want to write something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." Lacking respectable characters, missing conflict, and totally devoid of redemption, The Great Gatsby violates all the time-honored rules of the classic novel structure.

Like Fitzgerald, Golden Eye Literary Prize-winning novelist Brewster Milton Robertson disdains convention with his new novel, A Posturing of Fools, introducing unblushingly-corruptible Henley Logan Baird, a testosterone- and alcohol-fueled post-modern Tom Jones.

Wryly introspective, yet bawdy and delightfully erotic—and set against the backdrop of nonpareil elegance at the renowned Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia—A Posturing of Fools evolves as a kind of darkly-imagined Pilgrim's Progress, recounting the crucible experiences of a disillusioned young husband forced to ask disquieting questions about the important values in his life.

Not yet thirty and father of a six-year-old son, Logan Baird is struggling with his troubled marriage to his high school sweetheart, Rose Worrell. Returning home from the Bosnian crisis in 1995, he surrendered to Rose's ambition, abandoned a career as a medical columnist on the Roanoke, Virginia, newspaper and accepted a lucrative job as a salesman for Severance Laboratories, a major pharmaceutical company.

On a Tuesday in mid-August, Logan is rushing to meet Rush Donald, his snobby, status-conscious new boss at the Roanoke airport to take him to The Greenbrier resort for an international medical congress which will herald the long-awaited introduction of Virecta, Severance Labs' revolutionary improvement to the mega-billion-dollar male erection drug market.

As he is backing out of his driveway, Rose hands him an Express Mail from his old Bosnian sidekick, Lt. John Paul Silver. Running late, his head abuzz with plans to parlay pompous Rush's hero worship for The Greenbrier's legendary golf pro, Slammin' Sam Snead, into getting his recommendation for a promotion, Logan carelessly stuffs John Paul's letter into his briefcase unopened.

Unsuspecting of the letter's portentous contents, Logan is oblivious that over the next four days he will suffer the posturing of fools (and wise men) and encounter a veritable pornucopia of libidinous women intent on changing his life forever.
