King Of
Published in French as King Of. English edition not yet announced.
“We were sold statues. Our job, here, is to look beneath them.”
Gary, Indiana, 1958. A steel-mill crane operator has ten children. One of them, the eighth, dances better than the others. A factory has just produced the greatest popular artist of the twentieth century.
Motown, Thriller, the Bad Tour. A hundred million albums, sold-out stadiums, the most famous man on earth. And already the statue closing in on the child.
1993, 2003, 2009. The accusations, the acquittal, the death in a rented bedroom. The machine that built the myth turns around and destroys it.
