Publisher Description
'Charming, sad, comic... the funniest, truest rock biopic yet' Observer
Daniel Weir used to be a famous - not to say infamous - rock star. Maybe still is. At thirty-one he has been both a brilliant failure and a dull success. He's made a lot of mistakes that have paid off and a lot of smart moves he'll regret for ever. He has gone from rags to riches and back, and managed to hold on to them both, though not to much else. His friends all seem to be dead, fed up with him or just disgusted - and who can blame them? As he contemplates his life, Daniel realises he has only two problems: the past and the future. He knows how bad the past has been. But the future - well, the future is something else.

'An exceptional wordsmith' Scotsman
Customer Reviews
Amazing
This is my fav Ian banks book. It manages to portray so very well a person who is loved by many but actually known by few. Also noteworthy is the way that Banks manages to not bog down the book by focusing too much on the sad area of the book. The first time I read the book I literally cried with laughter!
This is as perfect a book as any could be.
Buy the real book for £3.50 lol
