This fresh, smart novel in the guise of a celebrity memoir probes the inner life of a megafamous pop starHonestly, what amazes me the most with a lot of the people I meet is that they think theyre so big. They think, ultimately, that the universe revolves around them. And Im beginning to think that its only when you live a life like mineits only when youre in a position where you dont even really own yourself, when you cant even really say that youre a citizen of any particular countrythat you realize that were all just tiny pieces of cosmic dust floating through the void until we disappear forever and were never heard from again.So begins the life story of our uber famous twentytwo year old narrator. A teen idol since he was twelve, when a video of him singing went viral, his star has only risen since. Now, haunted by the suicide of his managerfather, unsettled by the very different paths he and his teenage love (and girl popstar counterpart) Mandy have taken, and increasingly aware that he has signed on to something he has little control over, he begins to parse the divide that separates him from the normal people of the world.Sneakily philosophical, earnest and funny, Justin Kuritzkes's Famous People is a rollicking, unforgettable look at the clash between fame and the human condition.
