From the jazz clubs of Manhattan to the villages of Sri Lanka, Kristopher Jansmas irresistible narrator will be inspired and haunted by the success of his greatest friend and rival in writing, the eccentric and brilliantly talented Julian McGann, and endlessly enamored with Julians enchanting friend, Evelyn, the green-eyed girl who got away. After the trio has a disastrous falling out, desperate to tell the truth in his writing and to figure out who he really is, Jansmas narrator finds himself caught in a never-ending web of lies. As much a story about a young man and his friends trying to make their way in the world as a profoundly affecting exploration of the nature of truth and storytelling, The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards will appeal to readers of Tom Rachmans The Imperfectionists and Jennifer Egans Pulitzer Prize-winning A Visit from the Goon Squad with its elegantly constructed exploration of the stories we tell to find out who we really are. -- http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1754360 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1720369 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1715664 When the band hits it big, Kiera and Kellan must ask themselves: Can their love for each other withstand the constant pressures of superstardom?

A greedy executive hell-bent on success, a declining pop star looking for an edge, and a media circus that twists lies into truths are just some of the obstacles the lovers will have to overcome if they are going to remain together. Fame comes with a price--but will it cost Kiera and Kellan everything?--P.
