Mr. Famous: A Novel

The Story

What does an action star do when he loses his mojo? After a couple of notable box-office bombs, Mr. Famous has become B-list tabloid fodder. Haunted by three little words-'straight to video'-he vows to get in touch with the man he used to be. As his entourage vacates, an industry outsider is invited to join him in his Bel Air bunker and on an incognito road trip to Cape Cod that is the first stop on his voyage to self-discovery. Despite the inescapable insanities of Hollywood, 'Mr. Famous' attempts to remain true to his newly-unearthed inner life, to survive his own celebrity, withstand temptation, and begin Chapter Two with grace, confidence, and a little bit of dignity intact.
