<div><div>**DEBUT FICTION**</div><div> </div><div>This spectacular, sprawling debut novel tells the story of Calliope Bird Morath, daughter of legendary punk-rock star Brandt Morath—whose horrific suicide devastated the world—and his notorious wife, Penelope. <br><br>The novel is narrated by both Calliope and her obsessive biographer, who follows her from her silent childhood to her first tortured, manic public statements about her father; from her highly publicized publication of a book of poetry to her mysterious disappearance; from her reappearance as the mute leader of a cultlike brigade known as The Muse to her spectacular showdown with the biographer. <br><br>A disturbing and razor-sharp meditation on twenty-first-century celebrity culture, <i>Lady Lazarus</i> is also a funny and moving story about the age-old question of the nature of the self. </div></div>
