Straight From The Guy Who Knows Himself
No literary agent vetted this. No publicist softened it. This is a real page from the book — The Guy Who Knows on the one accessory that gets you admitted into Madison Avenue society.
“Living on the Upper East Side means you must be fashion forward. Your name must be on the contact list of every fashion designer — from clothes to shoes to handbags — and diamonds, of course.”
“The real necessity — almost a must-have item, a sort of admittance into Madison Avenue society — is the Birkin bag. It is not just a bag. It is the pinnacle of social status.”
“It says, I can afford to be here, and I have no plans to leave anytime soon.”
The Guy Who Knows — from Chapter One of The Untold Stories of Madison Avenue
Thirty-Seven Chapters. Zero Names Named.
A cheating husband. A cow with a $10,000-a-month apartment. A best friend who wasn't. Every chapter is its own New York City scandal — short enough to finish before your latte gets cold, sharp enough that you'll swear you know exactly who it's about.
Standalone Stories
Inspired by real Upper East Side events. Names changed. Details, allegedly, are not.
Anonymous Narrator
The Guy Who Knows still lives on the Upper East Side. He's not telling you where.
Guesses at Brunch
Readers can't stop trying to match every socialite to her chapter. That's the whole point.
The Ladies Of Madison Avenue Aren't The Only Ones Talking
Straight from Amazon — real reader reviews, unedited ratings.
“Funny, Addictive, and Full of Personality — A Must-Read!”
This reviewer says it's “sharp, hilarious, and packed with outrageous behind-the-scenes stories” — the kind of easy, conversational read that had them laughing out loud and flying through chapters until 1 a.m.
“How To Define Good Storytellers?”
Each Madison Avenue woman gets her own chapter, and this reviewer says it makes you feel like a fly on the wall in their lives — calling the whole book “like a popcorn box in the cinema.”
Nobody Knows His Name. Everybody Knows His Stories.
The Guy Who Knows is a well-known figure on the Upper East Side — just not by name. He moved to New York years ago and found himself in a position surrounded by the neighborhood's endless cast of characters.
Mixing comedy with a cynical eye, he turned years of dinner parties, doormen gossip, and confided secrets into his debut, The Untold Stories of Madison Avenue. He still lives on the Upper East Side. He has no plans to leave — or to tell you who he is.
