This is what happens to Rose McEwan, an ordinary woman who keeps having strange encounters with famous people. In this engrossing, original novel-in-stories, we follow her life from age seventeen, when she takes a summer writing class led by a young John Updike, through her first heartbreak on the island of Crete, through her marriage, divorce, and a canoe trip with Taylor Swift, Leonard Cohen, and Karl Ove Knausgaard. With wit, insight, and surprising poignancy, Marni Jackson has taken a world obsessed with celebrity and turned it on its head- showing us, in the process, how fame is just another form of fiction, and how one woman's ordinary life can capture the spotlight.
