"Es ist die Sensation! Tucker Crowe, ein in die Jahre gekommener, gescheiterter US-Rockstar, der nach einem Gig Mitte der 80er plötzlich verschwand, bringt ein neues Album auf den Markt. Duncan, einer seiner frenetischsten, treuesten – und bizarrsten – englischen Fans, ist entsetzt, als seine Freundin Annie eine Kritik ins Netz stellt. Doch Tucker Crowe fühlt sich zum ersten Mal verstanden – und mailt zurück ...(Laufzeit: 6h 29) "

Rezension(1): "Nick Hornby, geboren 1957, lebt in London. Nach seinem Studium in Cambridge war er als Lehrer und Journalist tätig. Seit 1983 arbeitet er als freier Schriftsteller. Hornby schreibt für die Sunday Times, Time Out und das Times Literary Supplement. Mit seinen Romanen Fever Pitch (1992), High Fidelity (1995) und About a Boy (1998) wurde er berühmt, inzwischen feiert der Kultautor mit seinen Titeln regelmäßig sensationelle Erfolge." Rezension(2): "Helmut Zierl, geboren 1954, spielte nach seiner Ausbildung am Hamburgischen Schauspielstudio Hildburg Frese (1972-1975) zunächst an der Landesbühne Hannover und im Hamburger Thalia-Theater, bevor er auch das Fernsehpublikum zu erobern begann. So verkörperte er Hauptrollen in Serienhits wie Tisch und Bett (1993), Zoff und Zärtlichkeit (1995), Wolken stein (1996), Ein Mann steht seine Frau (1997), Nesthocker - Familie zu verschenken (1999), Absolut das Leben (2002-06) oder Familie Sonnenfeld (2005) und war in zahlreichen Nebenrollen, etwa in neun Tatort-Episoden zu sehen. Inzwischen gehört Helmut Zierl zu den populärsten und vielseitigsten deutschen Fernsehdarstellern. Mit nicht weniger als 300 TV-Produktionen - darunter Amok (1991), Auf schmalem Grat (2000), Donna Leon - Blutige Steine, Meine liebe Familie, Der Vulkan (alle 2008) und Eine Liebe in Venedig (2009) - kann er gleichermaßen auf Dramen, Komödien wie Krimis zurückblicken." Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from July 13, 2009 Hornby returns to his roots—,usic, manic fandom, messy romance—,n his funny and touching latest, dancing between three perspectives on fame: a sycophantic scholar, an appreciative audience member, a fabled singer-songwriter who can', see what all the fuss is about. After cult musician Tucker Crowe vanished from the public eye 20 years ago, his small but devoted fan base built up a mythology around his oeuvre and the people and places associated with his storied life. Self-appointed “,rowologist”,Duncan has indoctrinated his girlfriend, Annie, on the wonders of Tucker, but when Annie fails to recognize the genius of a newly released version of Crowe', classic album Juliet, their 15-year relationship quickly crumbles. Meanwhile, Duncan', glowing first review is increasingly de-bated, while Annie', deconstructive essay posted on the same Web site earns her a clandestine e-mail correspondence with the reclusive musician. Soon, their exchanges grow more personal,given that Tucker lives in an American backwater and Annie resides in a remote English town, both view their e-mails as a safe flirtation until the dissolution of Tucker', latest marriage and a crisis with one of his several neglected children brings him to Annie', side of the Atlantic. Through brisk dialogue and quick scene changes, Hornby highlights each character', misconceptions about his or her own life, and though Duncan, Annie and Tucker are consistently ridiculous and often self-destructive, they are portrayed with an extraordinary degree of sympathy. Tucker', status of Dylan by way of Salinger allows for an intriguing critique of celebrity fetishization and of the motives behind the eccentricity that comes along with fame. Obviously, this is a must-read for Hornby', fans, but it also works as a surprisingly thoughtful complement to the piles of musician bios and memoirs." Rezension(4): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Rock star Tucker Crowe has been in seclusion in rural Pennsylvania for the last twenty years, drowning in a sea of self-loathing. Now he's struggling to get his life in order while reworking his magnum opus, Juliet, into a stripped-down acoustic recording and trying to repair his relationship with his son. Energetic prose and extensive character development give narrators Ben Miles, Bill Irwin, and the remarkable Jennifer Wiltsie plenty to work with. Wiltsie is the shining star in this production, assuming the role of the love-starved, email-addicted Annie, who falls for Crowe from faraway England even though she hates his new release. Wiltsie delivers an affecting portrayal that resonates well beyond the story's conclusion. L.B. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine"
