Gordon Burnin "Alma Cogan" tarkastelee julkisuuden ja murhan yhteentörmäystä Britannian 1950-luvun suurimman laulajatähden kautta. Romaani sukeltaa kuuluisuuden varjopuoliin ja jälkisoittojen pimentoon.
'Gordon Burn takes Britain's biggest selling vocalist of the 1950s, and turns her story into an equation of murder and celebrity. It is a work of extraordinary daring... an amazing feat' The Times
'Burn's bizarre, brilliant novel... explores the murky side of fame; the menace and corruption lurking in the wings... An extraordinary novel that claws at the imagination. It is the fictional equivalent of a Sylvia Plath poem, not quite understood but impossible to get out of your head' Daily Mail
'To have succeeded so brilliantly makes Alma Cogan a novel to treasure. As a dark meditation on fame and its undertow, as a dangerous and loving vision of post-war England, as a ruthless antidote to nostalgia, it's unlike anything I've ever read' Michael Herr
'Burn/Cogan is a superbly gifted raconteur(euse). The terrific storytelling gets you data-drunk, blissed out on simile and anecdotes... Whole passages from it go on buzzing inside your head after you've finished' Sunday Times
'You'd be hard pressed to find a better British novel this year' ID
