Karoo is a novel by Steve Tesich, published by Chatto & Windus (a division of Random House) in 1998. Oscar-winning writer Tesich died shortly after finishing this novel in 1996 at the age of 53. Karoo was Tesich’s final work and was released posthumously in 1998.
The novel is the story of a New York based movie script doctor, Saul 'Doc' Karoo, whose job is to fix film scripts, often at the cost of the writer's originality and dignity, to ensure a movie does well at the box office. We follow Karoo through his privileged lifestyle as he tries to deal with alcoholism, fatherhood, divorce, sex and show business.[1][2][3]
