Description
Chuck Palahniuk tackles Hollywood in a hilarious assault on celebrity and the Golden Age of Hollywood, when grand dames ruled the roost.
'Every word he's written about me is a lie including "and" and "the"...'
For decades, Hazie Coogan has tended to the outsized needs of Katherine 'Miss Kathie' Kenton, a star with the wattage of Elizabeth Taylor and the emotional torments of Judy Garland. The survivor of multiple marriages, career comebacks, and cosmetic surgeries, Miss Kathie lives the way legends should.
But danger lurks when gentleman caller Webster Carlton Westward III arrives and worms his way into Miss Kathie's heart and boudoir. Hazie discovers that this bounder has already written his celebrity tell-all memoir, which foretells her death in a forthcoming Lillian Hellman-penned World War II musical extravaganza, Unconditional Surrender, in which Miss Kathie portrays Lily defeating Japanese forces from Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki.
As the body count mounts, Hazie must execute a plan to save Katherine Kenton for her fans—and for posterity...
