He Walked Among Us

Someone in this group recommended this book and I read it and I am
glad I did.  It was published in 2009, making it the newest Spinrad
book I have read, and is as good as his earlier work.  A comedian
from the future, or maybe a deluded person thinking he is a comedian
from the future, shows up in a run-down Catskills resort and a
theatrical agent sees something he likes.  Teaming up with a new age
follower and a science fiction author they create a nationwide
television sensation.  Spinrad makes some jokes at his own expense
and has a pretty cruel depiction of fandom, but the book was funny
and thoughtful and I recommend it too.
