Ghosting is a remarkable account of one woman's life – or, to be more accurate, lives.
For fifteen years, Jennie Erdal had a double existence: officially she worked as a personal editor for one particular man – Tiger – but in reality she was his ghost-writer and in some mysterious sense his alter ego. During this time she wrote a great deal that appeared under his name – from personal letters and business correspondence to newspaper columns, novels and full length books.
Ghosting moves from a vivid evocation of an austere upbringing in Fife to superbly rendered portraits of the people with whom Jennie Erdal worked at a London-based publishing house, chief among them Tiger, the larger-than-life character with whom the author had a unique and symbiotic relationship; professionally hidden, yet somehow truthful and intimate. This moving and beautifully written memoir is laced throughout with rich, quiet comedy and profound insights into what it means to be human and to live in language.
Ghosting is a meditation on words, identity and creativity, but above all it is a portrait of a uniquely intimate relationship between a man and a woman.

Genre-subverting mystery. Should have crossover appeal to noir fans.This is Kirby's third novel. His previous novel, Our Napoleon in Rags, received good nice critical attention.Can expect a good amount of local attention in KY, as Kirby was subject of a PBS documentary on Kentucky writers and previous book was nominated for Kentucky Book Award.
