They Took Him Away in a Wagon

Wafers-

Horace Manifold, a mild-mannered professor of English at a college in the Midwest, discovers a strange phenomenon in the course of writing a novel. It seems that whenever he describes an event that occurs in the life of his protagonist, Mortimer Fandangle, that event subsequently happens to him as well. When he publishes an excerpt of the novel in an upscale literary journal, one that demonstrates this Fellini-esque device, he is awarded a "Pre-Pulitzer Prize," and is later hailed as “having forever altered the face of American literature.” He then embarks on a series of exotic adventures in tandem with his protagonist, including giving assistance to the Mexican government, performing mass hypnosis on crowds, and getting involved in a ménage à trois. He does, however, manage to finish his novel, which turns out to be this very book.
