ICONIC VOICES is a fictionalized autobiographical text about five famous artists: Elvis Presley, Marlon Brando, Norman Mailer, John Lennon, and Andy Warhol. The lives and works of these five celebrities were interconnected in intriguing ways. All of these people are now dead.

ICONIC VOICES is based on the conceit that all five are lost in the Afterlife, not quite knowing if they are dead or alive, but each remorselessly going over, in the first-person narratives, the highs and lows of their colourful, often shocking lives. Between them, they give a detailed, if blackly satirical, picture of the turbulent times they lived through - from the rock 'n' roll exposion of the 1950s (Presley), to the rebelliousness of the 1960s (Presley and Brando), the social upheavals of the 1970s (Brando, Mailer and Lennon), and the ruthless commercialization of the arts in the 1980s (Warhol). In other words, a comprehensive, hugely entertaining picture of the past five decades and their growing obsession with 'celebrity' culture.

ICONIC VOICES... The most outrageous of all 'celebrity' books in the Age of Celebrity!
