Lame Claims to Fame: I Lived with Peter Garrett's Cousin and Ninety Nine Others

A small book with its sights set on the big time, Lame Claims to Fame revels in, and roots out, the cult of celebrity. Funny, reverential and downright silly, it takes giddy delight in real encounters with unreal people, liberating mere mortals to celebrate their own ephemeral brushes with fame.

Have you cooked a chicken Caesar salad for Nicholas Cage, pushed Meg Ryan into a shoe stand at Prada, or bumped Sandra Sully’s car (and been told to keep it ‘mum’)? See how your tales stack up in the league of lame.
