All of the Night Novel No. 3 an Albert Nostran Episode

He has landed a journalistic job at the Universal Press Agency in
Washington (not state), but the graveyard shift and a strange roommate
fail to boost Albert Nostrans morale. A big news event would improve
matters, but then it is his worst nightmare: JOHN LENNON IS SHOT. Not
sufficiently trained, more a litterateur than a reporter, his dispatches
fail to elicit unadulterated praise. A ray of hope, however, materializes
in the presence of an iconoclastic copy girl. Charming, but.
A series of less than inspiring/resume-unfit jobs ensue until another
newspaper man turns the main character on to the notion of freelancing.
A more down-to-earth lass provides him with multi-layered
opportunity.
In ALL OF THE NIGHT, we are plunged inside the world of the press
agency, journalism and beyond (and below). A recent college
graduate, nibbled at by a couple of above-average demons, wrestles
to emerge in the world of full-blown, chafing adults.
Like the critically acclaimed The Big Jiggety and Pop the Plug (check
Xlibris and Amazon), All of the Night is laced with a compelling blend
of humor and pathos, underscored by Nostrans piquant, sometimes
profound, seldom pedestrian, commentary and a panoply of (despite
the night) colorful characters giving the protagonist a reason or two to
push ahead even though (or perhaps because) the deck is stacked
with jokers.
