Bennie really puts the ghost in ghostwriter. She writes suicide notes for a living. You ever been stuck in a meeting that feels like eternity? It’s soul-purging work, and her record of seeing all kinds of people through to the bitter end is less than perfect. She’s just like you - she just about tolerates her job.
After a difficult meeting with HR (Death), she’s assigned a challenge to prove herself a suicide copywriting superstar, and keep her place in the Office. But - it’s universally beloved chef and TV presenter. The world’s favourite uncle. An unproblematic Kitchen Confidential king - or so we think. Bennie is torn, but the Chef has unlocked a secret to the universe and can’t live to keep it. And if Bennie doesn’t see this one out, she’s going Downstairs.
This is a love story that starts at the end; an elegy to legacy and what we left behind; a thorny comedy about suicide, celebrity, jobs, and parasocial relationships. It’s about Anthony Bourdain, but not really. I never met him. It’s about what his legacy teaches us about each other. It's about his words: ‘Take something with you, leave something good behind.’
