His ex-girlfriend (who just might be the illegitimate daughter of dead Rolling Stone Brian Jones); the rock star (whom he's never met); and a mystery girl in an old newspaper photo all start to blur together. If only he could get closer to his subject, before the assignment spins out of control, maybe he'd have a shot at the distinction he deserves.
Hilarious and compelling, The Last Rock Star Book offers both an engrossing read and a powerful meditation on celebrity and obsession.
About the author:
Camden Joy gained notoriety for a series of "manifestoes" on popular music and culture he pasted up all over New York City. Some of these were collected in The Lost Manifestoes of Camden Joy (1996). The Last Rock Star Book was his first novel. His second novel, Boy Island, was published in 1999.
