Satisfaction Guaranteed. Jonathan Dee's previous novel, The Liberty Campaign, confirmed his presence as a major talent in the world of contemporary fiction. Now, in St. Famous, Dee has turned his brilliantly insightful eye toward the quirks and injustices of our publicity-crazed culture - taking his readers on a social roller coaster that travels the uniquely polarized worlds and personalities of New York City. St. Famous follows the fortunes of Paul Soloway, an aspiring writer who seems destined to toil in obscurity until fame is inadvertently thrust upon him in the form of a riot, a kidnapping, and a young black man named Vitor Hartley. Abducted by Victor in the violent confusion of a community uprising, Paul becomes a reluctant hero at the center of a media-driven maelstrom that culminates in a devastating confrontation and exposes our obsessions with race, fame, victims, and stars. As provocative and compelling as Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities, this is a page-turner of razor-sharp social commentary.. Advance Reading Copy (ARC). Book Condition: Very Good.
