Helpful Score: 1
Highly unusual story of young man's search for himself, full of showbiz trivia and Judaica. Amusing and thought-provoking. Not for the "dumb" reader. (Sorry for the snobbery, but it's true.)

From back cover: "Deply funny, subversive and splendidly entertaining. The Autograph man is a whirlwind tour of celebrity and our fame-obsessed times. Following one Alex-Li Tandem--a twenty-something, Chinese-Jewish autograph dealer turned on by sex, drugs and organized religion--it takes in London and New York, love and death, fathers and sones, as Alex tries to discover how a piece of paper can bring him closer to his heart's desire."
Another good book by zadie smith.
