{"product_id":"fame-a-novel-in-nine-episodes","title":"Fame: A Novel in Nine Episodes","description":"Imagine being famous. Being recognized on the street, adored by people who have never even met you, known the world over. Wouldn’t that be great?\n\nBut what if, one day, you got stuck in a country where celebrity means nothing, where no one spoke your language and you didn’t speak theirs, where no one knew your face (no book jackets, no TV) and you had no way of calling home? How would your fame help you then?\n\nWhat if someone got hold of your cell phone? What if they spoke to your girlfriends, your agent, your director, and started making decisions for you? And worse, what if no one believed you were you anymore? When you saw a look-alike acting your roles for you, what would you do?\n\nAnd what if one day you realized your magnum opus, like everything else you’d ever written, was a total waste of time, empty nonsense? What would you do next? Would your audience of seven million people keep you going? Or would you lose the capacity to keep on doing it?\n\nFame and facelessness, truth and deception, spin their way through all nine episodes of this captivating, wickedly funny, and perpetually surprising novel as paths cross and plots thicken, as characters become real people and real people morph into characters. The result is a dazzling tour de force by one of Europe’s finest young writers.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0307378713\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0307378713.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kehlmann, Daniel|Janeway, Carol\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
