In this joyous and original book two great figures share the stage: Charles Dickens and Prince. With wit, curiosity and deep admiration Nick Hornby traces their extraordinary lives - from their difficult beginnings to the women they fell for to their limitless energy for work, to their money and the movies - and brilliantly illuminates their very particular kind of genius.
Two wildly different artists who caught fire and lit up the world in ways no others could.
