Starview

Starview details the absurd trials of Artie Damundssun, a freelance writer commissioned to ghostwrite the autobiography of Sonny 'C-Note' Starview, an aging, has-been country music superstar. Artie's plan to spend a weekend interviewing the singer in his small Tennessee hometown turns troublesome when he determines the gathered information to be ridiculous, apocryphal, and wholly unprintable. Artie becomes less interested in C-Note Starview and ever more entangled in his own search for identity when various clues concerning his long-estranged folk singing Danish mother arise from the strangest and most implausible of sources. Starview is a humorous novel about the uncertainty of history, the American identity, and the pitfalls of the American ego. It is the exploration of a shaky foundation upon which teeters drive-in movie theaters, miniature golf courses, wax museums and fading country music legends.
