The Last Rock Star Book by Camden Joy
Joy's hero can charm landladies, but he can't wrap up the quickie biography of rock star Liz Phair he's been commissioned to write. Instead, the shaky author finds himself caught up in recounting the troubled events that mark his own life. His ex-girlfriend, (who just might be the illegitimate daughter of Brian Jones), the rock star (whom he's never met) and a mystery girl in an old newspaper photo all start to blur together. Hilarious and compelling, 'The Last Rock Star Book' offers both an engrossing read and a powerful meditation on celebrity and obsession.
Camden Joy is the author of two novels, The Last Rock Star Book, or: Liz Phair, a Rant and Boy Island; and three novellas, Hubcap Diamondstar Halo, Palm Tree 13, and Pan (republished in one volume as 3 Novellas); as well as numerous manifestoes, tracts, and other rants, many of which are included in the collection Lost Joy. Jonathan Lethem is the New York Times best-selling author of nine novels, most recently Dissident Gardens.
