Me and the Megastar

By John Corral

The opening story in this collection of short fiction, "Me and the Megastar," explores life-changing events with a blend of humor and poignancy. This coming-of-age tale is infused with sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, chronicling how a scrawny seventeen-year-old from Manhattan's Upper West Side becomes the confidant and best friend of a rock superstar. His unlikely dream of being a rock groupie is realized when fate unexpectedly brings him together with the world's top pop entertainer. The protagonist's witty journal entries capture the absurdity and excitement of this journey. At the same time, vivid depictions of teenage life animate both his days at school and his isolated existence in a lavish Fifth Avenue penthouse-complete with museum-quality furnishings, an absent mother, and a rarely present father.
