An outrageous American satire on the East Coast social and art scene. Cashampton-by-the-Sea - a normally idyllic world of sun and money, sex and fame, where the rich get richer and the poor get dead, and where the great abstract expressionist painter Jackson Pollock drank himself to an early death. Enter Roger Lymon, ambitious art reviewer who has been commissioned to find Pollock's lost last works, and to pen a biography with evidence of Jack the Dripper's paedophiliac past. But as he begins to delve into Cashampton society things start to get a little out of control. Michael Guinzburg's second novel, a bestseller in France, is a savage satire and a loving embrace of humanity at its best and its worst. Following on from the critically acclaimed Beam Me Up, Scotty, Top of the World, Ma! reaffirms Guinzburg as one of the most acerbic and outrageous contemporary novelists writing today.
