'Twenty years before, in the age of polymorphous perversity, I had played it straight. Now I wanted to know. To find myself through yielding. To be irritated by the revelation of the Mole's perfectly proportioned, rainwater-pure corporeal presence. Hindering my commitment to this idea, however, was . . . an unavoidable suspicion that I would have felt the same way if exposed to, say, the inner thigh of Linda Lovelace. Maybe I was just horny.'

Review:
‘The Remake is a consideration of the artistic and the media-star lifestyle, full of brilliant observation.’ ES Magazine
‘As sharp as a tack and as clever as eleven wagonloads of monkeys.’ Guardian
‘The reader is kept busy catching the glancing reflections, fitting together bits of puzzle and enjoying jokes. There is much that cries out to be quoted. Clive James’s latest book is funny, serious, challenging, annoying, iconoclastic, elitist, erudite and erotic.’ Adelaide Advertiser
‘The Remake truly floored me. Very few books have forced me to compare form and content as powerfully as this novel – and I use the word “novel” with caution. Dialogue, description, plot and situation, Clive James has mastered them all. Eloquent and erudite, he uses words with such ease, grace and effectiveness that levels of language and meaning are grasped in gestalt; a phrase can be a word.’ Jerusalem Post

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the author of Cultural Amnesia, beloved writer, poet and broadcaster Clive James, The Remake is a satirical story of astronomy, celebrity and a certain sort of romance . . .'As sharp as a tack and as clever as eleven wagonloads of monkeys' GuardianAstronomer Joel Court has problems. His interstellar discoveries might have landed him a weekly spot on the television, but before long his misbehaviour has lost him his wife, his mistress and quite possibly his career. He lands in the home of Chance Jenolan, to whom success was a way of life, who deals in a very different sort of star. One of Chance's orbiting celebrities poses a particular problem for Joel. The Mole. Her heavenly body outshines all the celestial manifestations Joel has ever seen. Pretty soon, he will not be able to bear having her out of his sights. A humorous novel of stars and stardom from Clive James, beloved writer, poet and broadcaster. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781447266884
