As good as dead : (a cautionary tale).
Publication Date:
2007
Summary:
On his quick trip to fame, Vic stops along the way to comment on celebrity, marketing machines, the notion of banging out an overnight success on one's typewriter, and the act of becoming a legend. Wherever big bucks are involved, there will be a call to compromise or a pact with the devil: one pill makes you smaller, one pill makes you tall. Vic has his initial fifteen minutes (or seconds) of rubbing shoulders with the stars as he completes a cross-border tour from Hollywood, to Oprah, to a lavish party at the Playboy Mansion--before he takes the inevitable fall down the rabbit hole and is forced to decide between his integrity and belief systems, and his newfound fortune and fame.
