Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This novel presents the author's take on Hollywood and its grotesque inhabitants. It tells the story of African film-maker Aurelien No and his attempt to remake his prize-winning student film. Other stories relate tales that concern disparate characters in what are often exotic locales.
