Ryan Seacrest Is Famous

In Ryan Seacrest is Famous, Dave Housley lovingly skewers pop culture?and our obsession with it?in all its benign yet bizarre, addictive and addled glory. With a keen wit and knowing eye for detail, he depicts a small town clown in the midst of an alcoholic tailspin, a still-living Jack Kerouac as an infomercial fitness icon, a man literally driven crazy by the fact that Ryan Seacrest is famous, a young Nepali woman stuck between a massive lie and reality TV stardom, an aging professional wrestling announcer pulled into the ring by unscrupulous scriptwriters, and a young obsessive-compulsive whose roommates start a movement based around the movie Fight Club. Serious fiction with pop sensibility, Ryan Seacrest is Famous will delight fans of Road House and On the Road alike.
