About This Book

A public-relations man engineers a gargantuan aerial projection of a movie star's face over the city to promote a picture, halting traffic and provoking official outrage; complaints from police and his employer lead to his dismissal. After a drunken night that ends with an arrest and a rough encounter with mounted officers, he is rescued and cared for by a resourceful woman. The narrative satirizes invasive mass marketing and follows the immediate personal and social consequences when spectacle-driven publicity disregards civic order and turns the sky into a commercial arena.
