Maurice Swift has two desires to accomplish with his life. He wants to become a world-renowned writer and become a father. Maurice goes about these endeavours meticulously and unscrupulously. He is a very good-looking man and uses that to attach himself to some very important people. Uses them and then drops them.
Does he climb that ladder to the sky?

Wow what a twisty and twisted work this is! Told in first, second and third person respectively, which as a writer I appreciate immensely! The protagonist is a terrible human, and the other characters we meet along the way are less than likable as well. But somehow this all works and I couldn't put it down until I reached the very end. Highly recommend!
