A would-be movie reviewer, looking for romance, takes an assignment to write a magazine article about celebrity look-alikes. After getting to know a Steve Martin impersonator, the writer decides to undertake his own process of transformation and becomes not Steve Martin but a version of him--graceful, charming, at home in the world. Safe in the guise of Steve, he begins to fall in love. And that's when Steve takes over. Set in the capital of illusion, this is a story of one man's journey into paradise--and his attempt to come out the other side.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The best new novel I've read in several years." --<i>Benjamin Kunkel, author of Indecision</i> <p/>"Gutsy, weirdly engrossing . . .
