A strong...tale of operatic moral corrosion.-Kirkus Reviews on Gods & Gangsters Joey Diamonds is on the verge of being a "Made" man, with ice cold blue eyes that pierce through the hearts of women...and men. Joey Diamonds is on the verge of being a "Made" man, with ice cold blue eyes that pierce through the hearts of women...and men. After being disowned by his mafia family, losing the love of his life, and realizing the world at large is his enemy, Joey throws extreme caution to the wind on his journey of self-debauchery in the name of fame and fortune. "The Purple Don" is the story of how self-destruction is never simply an internal state, and everyone around can be destroyed in the process. While Joey Diamonds takes over New York, Miami, and Hollywood-aligning with various mobs and nefarious gangs-we learn how the truly ruthless are never out to play checkers. It's always a game of chess.

Book Description

A jewel of a short story from the bestselling, award-winning author of Atonement—“My Purple Scented Novel” follows the perfect crime of literary betrayal, scrupulously wrought yet unscrupulously executed. Published to celebrate Ian McEwan’s 70th birthday. “You will have heard of my friend the once celebrated novelist Jocelyn Tarbet, but I suspect his memory is beginning to fade. . . . You’d never heard of me, the once obscure novelist Parker Sparrow, until my name was publicly connected with his. To a knowing few, our names remain rigidly attached, like the two ends of a seesaw. His rise coincided with, though did not cause, my decline. . . . I don’t deny there was wrongdoing. I stole a life, and I don’t intend to give it back. You may treat these few pages as a confession.”
