Teave selle e-raamatu kohta
From the author of Cultural Amnesia, beloved writer, poet and broadcaster Clive James, The Remake is a satirical story of astronomy, celebrity and a certain sort of romance . . .
'As sharp as a tack and as clever as eleven wagonloads of monkeys' – Guardian
Astronomer Joel Court has problems. His interstellar discoveries might have landed him a weekly spot on the television, but before long his misbehaviour has lost him his wife, his mistress and quite possibly his career. He lands in the home of Chance Jenolan, to whom success was a way of life, who deals in a very different sort of star.
One of Chance's orbiting celebrities poses a particular problem for Joel. The Mole. Her heavenly body outshines all the celestial manifestations Joel has ever seen. Pretty soon, he will not be able to bear having her out of his sights.
