Arnie Pepper is having the worst day of his life. The Pulitzer-prize winning sports columnist for the Washington Post is has lived a thrilling, prestigious and (mostly) blameless existence over nearly four decades of rubbing shoulders with atheletic royalty at the most pretigious sporting events of out times. Then one day, within the confines of an impromptu gathering of fellow reporters, he tosses out a characteristic one-liner.

Overheard and subsequently posted on social media,, his joke goes viral. The ensuing hurricane of condemnation threatens to take his job and reputation, alienate his daughter, and decimate his obsessively, observed inner world.

#MeAsWell is the second novel from Peter Mehlman, an essayrist, artist, comic, filmmaker, and longtime writer/producer for the iconic television show Seinfeld. At once surreal and too real, laughable and on point, the novel examines the inner and outer turmoil that results when a well-meannig but iconoclastic public figure, having failed to update his cultural operating system, unwittingly runs afoul of the new rules of woke America.
