 Amazon.com: The Last Days of Disco, With Cocktails at Petrossian Afterwards: Books: Whit Stillman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The premise is preciously, playfully postmodern: chronically unemployed lounge-chair philosopher Jimmy Steinway is "commissioned" by Castle Rock Entertainment to do a novelization of the film, itself based on the activities of Steinway and his circle in the early 1980s.
Claiming that the real story started at a party in the Hamptons (not depicted in the movie) where he met the lovely Alice Kinnon, Jimmy recalls how the subtle charms of the boyfriendless social failure stirred a rivalry among Jimmy and four of his Harvard classmates"and the bitter jealousy of her roommate, Charlotte.
Jimmy Steinway, the "Dancing Adman" of The Last Days of Disco (and, we later discover, a frustrated, desk-drawer novelist), gets his lucky break when Castle Rock Entertainment, unable to find anyone else to write a novelization of the movie, reluctantly gives the assignment to him.
