I Must Confess



Marc LeJeune has had a remarkable career in the entertainment business. Despite the carping of critics, cruel twists of fate, and the treachery of former friends who were blind to his exceptional dramatic and musical talents, he has remained true to his unique artistic vision. From his early days as the face of Swinging London, to the late 1960s avant garde theater scene, through the sexually liberated cinema of the 1970s, to his current status as a much-loved household name and TV favorite, he tells all in this, his own astonishing story.

Through this fabulous parody of the showbiz confession, Rupert Smith has created a witty and scathing satire of popular culture and entertainment over the last forty years. Marc LeJeune is a brilliant comic creation, inspired by Smith's many years of interviewing celebrities for Time Out and writing about showbiz in The Guardian (U.K.).

One of the funniest and most ambitious novels I have read in ages. Rupert Smith offers us nothing less than a comic history of popular culture. His eye and ear are acute, his parodies lethally accurate. —Jonathan Coe, author of The Closed Circle

Make no mistake, Rupert Smith's novel is fiction, but it's peppered with real people and events, which invites readers to moisten their lips, arch their eyebrows and wonder, who is he really talking about? It's all great fun. Circulate liberally among bitter queens and gossip mavens. —Echo Magazine

Every page of his fabulous odyssey makes you smile and the book provides a catharsis for the drama queen in all of us. Engaging, moving and hilarious, I Must Confess is an outstandingly entertaining read. —Boyz

Rupert Smith is the author of the novels On the Edge, Fly on the Wall, and Service Wash, as well as numerous biographies and TV tie-in books. He lives in London.
