Great Jones Street

Om boken

A troubling satire of the romantic myth of stardom and the empty heart of rock and roll. Bucky Wunderlick is a rock and roll star. Dissatisfied with a life that has brought fame and fortune, he suddenly decides he no longer wants to be a commodity. He leaves his band mid-tour and holes up in a dingy, unfurnished apartment in Great Jones Street. Unfortunately, his disappearing act only succeeds in inflaming interest. Great Jones Street probes the rights of the individual, foreshadows the struggle of the artist within a capitalist world, and delivers a scathing portrait of our culture's obsession with the lives of the few.
