Fifteen Minutes

In a world obsessed with celebrity culture do the best stories belong to ordinary people? A tramp wanders through New York on the day John Lennon is shot; a doctor remembers a Muhammad Ali fight from his childhood; a mother's Harry Potter obsession follows the death of her child. Intentionally or not, celebrities past, present and future assert their influence over the lives of us all. Addressing this very modern phenomenon, these stories offer an unflinchingly honest and thought-provoking picture of the world in which we live. Fifteen Minutes is a short story collection about fame, presented through the extraordinary eyes of unabashedly ordinary characters.
