From the back cover: Deeply funny, subversive and splendidly entertaining, 'The Autograph Man' is a whirlwind tour of celebrity and our fame-obsessed times. Following one Alex-Li Tandem - a twenty-something, Chinese-Jewish autograph dealer turned on by sex, drugs and organised religion - it takes in London and New York, love and death, fathers and sons, as Alex tries to discover how a piece of paper can bring him closer to his heart's desire. Exposing our misconceptions about our idols - about ourselves - 'The Autograph Man' is a brilliant, unforgettable tale about who we are and what we really want to be.
