A hilariously funny book about the Eurovision Song Contest.Fifty years after Jetty Paerl took to the Lugano stage and burst into “The Birds of Holland,” the Eurovision Song Contest is still luring 450... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Another masterpiece by Mr. Moore! The author turns his bemused British eye to the rampant egoism, narcissism, and cultural disconnects that make up the Eurovision song contest -- sound familiar, "American Idol" fans? Whatever his subject matter -- Victorian travelers, Jacobean adventurers, medieval pilgrimages, extreme athletic events, the most popular board game in history, or (in this case) the pursuit of Andy Warhol's fifteen minutes of fame -- Mr. Moore has a unique and riotously funny take on the people, places, and things he encounters in pursuit of his objectives. Read this book -- and if you haven't read Mr. Moore's other books, get them and read them, too!
