The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner is a novel by the Scottish author James Hogg, published anonymously in 1824.

The action...

First of all let me say that the only reason I have written this book is because Mr. Paul Newman simply does not have the ability to do so on his own. It will not escape the reader's notice when they become familiar with his persona that he would have been incapable of writing it without my own assistance. I am a ghost writer. That is to say I write other people's books for them and get paid a pittance for the privilege. My own books have not been...
