Beskrivning

'[A] French cult classic... Think: lesbian DJ love triangles, anticonformists, grainy MTV and designer drugs' Playboy

'The literary queen of the Paris techno scene' Guardian

Paris, late 90s: at the centre of the city's queer techno scene, musician Louise lives in a haze of parties, drugs and hooking up. A group of women orbits her magnetic DJ ex-girlfriend Alex; as they bar hop, go to each other's sets and climb into each other's beds, Louise struggles to make rent and work on her own electronic music.

Then comes what should be her big moment: Louise gets a life-changing record contract, but she has no idea what she wants. Pulled between her ex-boyfriend Nikki and her old life in rock bands and a volatile new crush in her techno world, Louise begins careening off the rails, leaving chaos in her wake.

Raw, caustic and pulsing with the music that enraptured a generation, Superstars is an electrifying immersion in Paris's 90s rave scene by a cult author who lived it all.

Mer om författaren

Ann Scott was born in Boulogne-Billancourt to a Russian photographer mother and a French art-collector father. She grew up in Paris and moved to London at seventeen. In the buzzy '80s music scene, she became a drummer in a punk band. She then took up a brief career as a model before returning to Paris at twenty, where she began to write. Her first novel, Asphyxie, was published ten years later. In 2000, Superstars, her second novel, became a hit upon release. In 2023, she received the Prix Renaudot for Les Insolents, her tenth book. She is also the co-author, with Nicola Sirkis, of the song "Paradize" by the rock group Indochine, whose album of the same name has sold over a million copies.
