Fresh Every Hour Detailing the Adventures, Comic and Pathetic of One Jimmy Martin, Purveyor of Publicity, a Young Gentleman Possessing Sublime Nerve, Whimsical Imagination, Colossal Impudence, and, Withal, the Heart of a Child.

Jimmy Martin, a fresh‑off‑the‑boat press agent at Jollyland, the bustling New York‑area amusement park, spends his summer trying to keep his heartbeat as steady as the rides he promotes. When the vivacious Lolita Murphy steps into his world, his pulse jumps to a jazzy rhythm, and his once‑reliable heart begins to act up like a mischievous drum solo. The novel opens with Jimmy’s comic, slightly pathetic attempts to describe her beauty in grandiose terms, revealing his boundless nerve and child‑like imagination.

As Jimmy launches a series of flamboyant publicity schemes to catch her eye, his earnest blunders and over‑the‑top bravado generate a cascade of laugh‑inducing mishaps. Through witty narration and lively period details, the story captures the thrills of early‑20th‑century amusement‑park life while charting a young man’s awkward dance between admiration and self‑doubt. Listeners will enjoy the light‑hearted yet affectionate portrait of a hopeful youth whose impudence and imagination make every hour feel fresh.
