En berømt forfatter må forfalske sin egen død for å få livet tilbake fra sin beryktede romanskikkelse Monica. Killing Monica er en roman om popkultur, kjendiser, berømmelse og selve meningen med livet. Candace Bushnell er forfatteren bak Sex and the City.
In Killing Monica Bushnell spoofs and skewers her way through pop culture, celebrity worship, fame and even the meaning of life itself, when a famous writer must resort to faking her own death in order to get her life back from her most infamous creation - Monica. With her trademark humour and style, Killing Monica is Bushnell's sharpest, funniest book to date. This is Bushnell at her best - full of mordant wit, casual sex and highly conspicuous consumption.
