Produktbeschreibung
A book about art, creativity, and the unlikely similarities between Victorian novelist Charles Dickens and modern American rock star Prince. Equipped with a fan's admiration and his trademark humor and wit, Nick Hornby explores the cosmic link between two unlikely artists, geniuses in their own rights, spanning race, class, and centuries. Charles Dickens and Prince each electrified their different disciplines, with legacies that resound far beyond their own time. What else do they have in common? Examining the two artists' personal tragedies, social statuses, boundless productivity, and other parallels both humorous and haunting, Hornby shows how these two unforgettable men from completely different eras each "lit up the world."--
