What if everything he learned from his television, from the movies,
from what he heard on the radio, was treated as an absolute and
incontrovertible truth? And what, then, if this man was amoral,
cunning, and willing to lie, seduce, and kill to save himself from
anonymity?


With an army of consultants, a library of "how-to"
manuals, and an endless variety of product placements at his behest,
the hero of Anonymous Celebrity sets out to become king of his
own little world—which unfortunately turns out to be the same one the
rest of us live in. Equal parts Nabokov, All About Eve, and Big Brother,
this is a bawdy, irreverent indictment of our self-absorbed culture of
celebrity, where to be anything less than famous means being something
less than human . . .
