ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The narrative is fragmented, moving between points of view and timelines. It follows the lives of people connected to the music industry, like Bennie Salazar, a record producer, and Sasha, his former assistant, as well as other characters like Kitty Jackson, a famous actress, and a publicist named Dolly. The story dives into themes of time, memory, identity, and the impact of the past on the present. It also deals with celebrity culture, power, and the search for meaning in a world that is constantly changing. The book shows how personal and technological forces affect people and how these intertwine.
