A Hollywood Novel.
'Now if you think this is going to be about people you don't know, trust me. 'Cos they're in here; you're in here. Trust me. Other people do. So if you think you recognise someone, chances are you're dead right. OK?'
Vyvian, interior designer (with blood type D for Discretion), ministers to a clientele of movie stars, servicing their every need, providing etiquette advice, nutrition plans, rearrangement of "mental furnishings" and, sometimes unwittingly, sperm donation.
He is partnered by Marga, the celebrities' masseuse. She is deaf and dumb - or that's the way we decided to play it.
Their motto? "Attend, attend!" And their mission: to listen to the needs of the lonely, to advise the desperate, to educate the semi-literate and to banish the blues of Movieland's mega-rich. All of which is a cash-intensive, gossip-stuffed business.
All goes haywire when 'Zeitgeist' goes into production. Titanically. Meltdown is just moments away . . .
With barbs and shrewd observations, this book is funny, bitchy, and utterly fascinating.
