The 3rd collection of Darrin Bell's comic strip "Candorville," which runs in major newspapers across the U.S. Follow the hilarious exploits of an African-American blogger, a gangsta rapper and a Latina advertising exec trying to get their piece of an American pie that might've been left out of the fridge a little too long. After one too many humorous rejections from the New Yorker, Lemont starts his own blog. But will a breaking scandal force him into the spotlight before he's ready? Will his unbelievable interviews with Hurricane Katrina survivors land him a Pulitzer, or a padded room? And why are socially-awkward Federal agents watching his every move? Meanwhile, C-Dog devises a half-dozen shameless ways to raise funds to publish his new CD. But can he kill off his newfound conscience before it destroys his misogynist street cred? And how can Susan Garcia win her promotion if she's so busy keeping an eye on her backstabbing assistant and living in denial about Lemont's life-shattering secret?
