How far would you go to live your dream? Would you lie? Hurt those you love? Destroy a building? Kill a man?

On the anniversary of his brother's death, 25-year- old Ben Tippet’s dream of becoming famous ends in a nightmare.  Abandoned by his novelist lover, Alex Fortune, and about to stand trial  for arson and murder,  he writes his anarchic  'novel autobiography'.

A who’s who of cultural icons, from Kafka to King Kong, Chaucer to Chekhov, Marlowe to Mailer, Brando to Bowie, Proust to Presley, and the Wizard of Oz to the White Cliffs of Dover - this darkly humorous debut  is a contemporary portrait of  identity crisis and personality disorder;  a story of secrets, lies, love and a modern  obsession with fame and fortune.
