The Autograph Man by Zadie Smith
Alex-Li Tandem, a Chinese-Jewish professional dealer in celebrity autographs, has been writing weekly letters to reclusive actress Kitty Alexander for 13 years. At last, an autograph arrives in the post. Is his end achieved, or is this only the beginning of another quest? An entertaining examination of the effects of celluloid culture, though rather more dark than the dust jacket would have you believe.
