Description
A razor-sharp satirical novel about the modern obsession with fame. Patrick Moon's life has taken a downward spiral since his acting days - he's struggling to escape the spotlight, his relationship is crumbling and he's experiencing a certain sexual difficulty. But then opportunity knocks again in the form of a small-budget film that might just be his big break. All he needs to do is take a few chances. With his life on the line, Patrick must confront the reality of his situation and decide what it truly means to be famous. This witty and insightful novel explores the darker side of fame and the lengths people will go to in order to stay relevant. Damian Lanigan's writing is as brilliant as ever, delivering a dazzling performance that teems with invention, wicked humour and unforced insights.
