Publisher's Synopsis
In this work, Momus has structured the narrative of his life as a typically atypical mockery of the rock-bio oral history. Instead of using living witnesses, Momus assumes the voices of 217 dead authors and artists and forces them to speak for and about him. From these dramatic monologues - sometimes unreliable, often comical - there gradually emerges a picture of one eccentric star's life across three continents and in his own, remarkable, niche.
