Opis

The fictionalized first-person narratives of ICONIC VOICES, all based on facts, are those of ELVIS PRESLEY, MARLON BRANDO, NORMAN MAILER, JOHN LENNON, and ANDY WARHOL. The lives and works of these five people were interconnected in intriguing ways. All of these people are now dead. ICONIC VOICES is a blackly satirical, devastatingly funny recounting of their colorful lives, from the rock 'n' roll explosion of the 1950s (Presley), to the rebelliousness of the 1960s (Presley and Brando), the social upheavals of the 1970s (Brando, Mailer and Lennon), and the ruthless commercialization of the arts in the 1980s (Warhol, but also relating to the other four). In other words, a comprehensive, irresistably entertaining picture of the past four decades and their growing obsession with 'celebrity' culture.
