You Can If You Want, But You Don't Have To

2 : a book containing reprints of a number of works (as of a single author or on a single subject)
In this mash-up of autofiction, essay, screenplay, and epistolary, writer Benjamin Obler goes "behind enemy lines" as a blue-stater in Republican territory where, in his in-law's basement, he campaigns editors at the APA to include Aspiring Writer Syndrome in the DSM-IV, as a recognized mental disorder. He also realizes from a distance that the climate of literary New York does not permit his writing short stories that are remakes of John Cheever's "Goodbye, My Brother" and "The Enormous Radio." But by writing he leads a bus tour across the landscape of his psyche, arriving an imaginary park where monuments pay tribute to the inspirational and instructive men in his life.
