'If you're already missing HACKS, this will fill the void'
Debutiful, 'The Most Anticipated Debut Books of 2026'
'Funny, poignant, and positively delightful'
GRAHAM MOORE, author of The Holdout
'A searing, hilarious farce'
NIKESH SHUKLA, author of The Boxer
Raj Ladlani is one of thousands in LA: an unemployable actor. He has reasons to believe he is spectacularly talented (his beloved acting coach Anthony says so), a legend in every way but for the success.
His anonymous life working at Yogurtland, obsessively reading Vanity Fair, and fantasizing about stardom, comes to an end when he answers a job ad detailing a relentless, laughable parade of menial responsibilities for a 'Hollywood Family'. So begins the astonishing decline and fall of Raj Ladlani.
The Simp tells the story of Raj's momentous employment and the destruction that follows in the wake of his time with the with the H Family: Jim, a macho director determined to prove himself as an artist; and Anna, his much younger wife who has ambitions of her own.
And when the job reveals itself to be an absurdist walk through affluent domestic chaos and misguided engagements with identity politics, Raj might be about to lose it - on a very public stage.©2026 Roshan Sethi (P)2026 Simon & Schuster Audio

Kritikerstimmen
Engrossing. A Ripleyesque story of envy and self-abasement, cut through by a satire on the hypocrisies and pretensions of Hollywood (James Cahill, author of )
A searing, hilarious farce about race, class and power in Hollywood, which acts as an important parable about wealth and ambition and the things we must do to get ahead. Written with a director's eye for detail, an acerbic tone and a big heart, this is a searing satire about the film industry (Nikesh Shukla, author of The Boxer)
What this exceedingly smart and funny novel finally suggests is that until the world isn't run by rich, entitled monsters, most of us are going to pass at least a portion of our time on Earth in some degree of simpitude.
