<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"By the time he was eight he knew he would be a Great Actress". So begins the story of Rhys (aka Dorhys, Dorita, Lancelot . . .). For Rhys, disaster is always lurking just around the corner. When he loses all his money in the stock market crash of 1987 and eviction from his apartment seems eminent, he has only one thing left to sell: himself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>British actor Rupert Everett charmed his way into moviegoers' affections with his scene-stealing performance in My Best Friend's Wedding. Everett is also the gifted writer of this scathingly funny novel of a down-and-out actor's zany misadventures amid a wildly colorful menagerie of madcap trendsetters.<p>Fame is a fleeting thing, as ex-soap opera star Rhys Waveral discovers. When he loses all his money in the stock market and no new acting jobs are forthcoming, eviction from his elegant hotel suite looms large. Stripped of all his assets, Rhys realizes he has only one thing left to sell: himself. And a pair of jet-setting dowagers couldn't be more thrilled. From staid English country houses to flamboyant Parisian nightclubs and an outrageous costume ball in Tangiers, Rupert Everett spins a raucous and irresistible modern farce.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"You won't find higher camp at the summit of Everest...Everett has revealed an unexpected talent for bitchy, decadent comedy."--"The Sunday Times"Wickedly funny...a fast-paced farce that never stops...Well-written and hilarious."--"Publishers Weekly"A very funny comedy of errors."--"Detroit Free Press"Hilarious-and a good read...more than the novel of the '90s."--Tama Janowitz<br>
