- Synopsis
- Cause Celeb-the critically acclaimed debut novel from a writer with a boundless grasp of the existential and the uproarious-has just landed in America. Deftly skewering the world of celebrity fundraising, Helen Fielding has created an alternately comic and moving satire that straddles the glitter of media London and the horrors of an African refugee crisis. Disillusioned with life as a literary publicist in London, as well as with her hotshot, unevolved TV presenter boyfriend, twenty-something Rosie Richardson chucks the glitz and escapes to run a refugee camp in the African desert.' 1 When famine strikes and a massive refugee influx threatens to overwhelm the camp, governments and agencies drag their heels. Calling her media to get food fast is to bring the celebrities first, Richardson returns to London to organize a star-studded and risky emergency appeal.
