Description
Simon Rich's latest collection of stories trawls through history to skewer our obsession with fame and fortune. From ancient Babylon to Hollywood, these tales expose the darker side of success and the lengths we'll go to achieve it.
With a keen eye for the absurdities of life, Rich explores what happens when fame gets out of control - like when a baby surpasses its parent's achievements from birth, or when a film critic is forced to live in the movies they've so cruelly damned. A humorous and personal collection that has won over fans in the UK, including celebrities and writers.
