Cause Celeb—the critically acclaimed debut novel from a writer with a boundless grasp of the existential and the uproarious—has just landed in the us. Deftly skewering the world of celebrity fundraising, Fielding has generated an alternately comic and moving satire that straddles the glitter of media London and the horrors associated with an African refugee crisis.Rosie Richardson, a twenty-something literary puffette, is within a completely non-functional relationship with an unevolved but irresistible adult male—a hotshot TV presenter who plunges her into the glitzy, bitchy, inane lifestyle of London's It people. Disillusioned with the celebrity world, Rosie escapes to perform a refugee camp in the African jungle. When famine strikes and an enormous refugee influx heads for the camp, governments and agencies drag their heels. Bringing her former media savvy to the fore, realizing the only path to get food out fast is to bring celebrities first, Rosie turns to the life and man she fled to organize a star-studded emergency appeal from famine-racked Africa. Seamlessly bridging cataclysm and farce through the insights of a modern-day everywoman, Cause Celeb crackles with insight into fame, passion, and altruism in our time.
