Centered around the hypothetical death of a real-life musician and performance artist-Amanda Palmer of Dresden Dolls fame-this book imagines the fallout of her demise. Upon hearing news of Amanda's death, her fans began posting their own writing, artwork, and thoughts onto the Internet, eventually creating their own genre called the Palmeresque. By collecting a selection of these submissions in one place and providing commentary, On the Many Deaths of Amanda Palmer explores issues of authorship, celebrity, popular culture, marketing strategies, the corruption of art, and the essential questions of modern media
