A young man lands a job as a speech writer for a crack smoking, drunk driving, ass grabbing, lying Mayor of Toronto. In a satirical comedic novel that has story elements that sound familiar to many, 'Me and the Crack Mayor' imagines the inner world of a political administration that is out of control, yet unapologetic. While inspired by real events, this is a work of fiction that imagines what it would be like to be in the centre of a storm that makes the wrong kind of world wide headlines for Toronto. The novel is the second for author Gary Pearson, his first, the romantic comedy Slapshot of Love is also available through Amazon. Pearson is best known as a comedy writer for such TV shows as MadTV, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, That's So Weird and many others. He has won the Writer's Guild of Canada Award, The Canadian Comedy Award and a Canadian Screen Award. He has been nominated for six Gemini Awards and two further Canadian Screen Awards.
