Description

In the tradition of" Get Shorty" and" The Player,"" Turnpike Flameout" pierces America's veil of celebrity and asks: When does fame become a crime? Early praise for "Turnpike Flameout": ""Turnpike Flameout" is one of the funniest, smartest novels I've ever read. Everything about the book is top-shelf--the characters, the humor, the writing, the satire, the slick plot. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but Eric Dezenhall has written a novel that leaves the rest of us mumbling and shaking our heads, wondering how in the world he pulled it off." --Martin Clark, author of "The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living "and" Plain Heathen Mischief" ""Turnpike Flameout" is what's really going on while the rest of us are watching the spun-for-the-masses version of star meltdowns on "Entertainment" "Tonight"! A fast-paced trip behind the facade of celebrity persona into the rarely seen reality of what it means to be a fading star. The ultimate celebrity tantrum, totally outrageous and totally believable."

Feature: Dezenhall, Eric

Feature: 2005
