He infiltrates the gilded life of a superstar actor\/sex symbol\/practicing Buddhist, the compromised world of a young actress whose big break comes when she's hired to play a corpse on \u003ci\u003eSix Feet Under,\u003c\/i\u003e and the strange parallel universe of look-alikes -- an entire industry in which struggling actors are hired out for parties and conventions to play their famous counterparts. Alternately hilarious and heartfelt, ferocious and empathetic, \u003ci\u003eStill Holding\u003c\/i\u003e is Bruce Wagner's most expertly calibrated work.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871663214750,"sku":"HPC-9780743243384","price":28.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780743243384.jpg?v=1779618617","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780743243384","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
