About the Book

Midlife crisis looms over the world of our unnamed protagonist: a thankless teaching job, failed writing career, a family pulling away from him, and a growing obsession with the music of his favorite pop idol. He pores over her lyrics, uncovering parallels to the disintegration of his own life. When he finally decides to reach out to her through fan mail, things take a turn for the strange... Will the object of his obsession recognize his true self when those around him don't? How far will he go to be heard? Your Biggest Fan is the debut literary work by Jeremy Rosenholtz, a dark and often hilarious metafictional fable about celebrity obsession, growing older, and the search for meaning in a world where the glamor of pop culture can be incompatible with the harshness of everyday life.

About the Author :
Jeremy Rosenholtz grew up in Wyoming and currently lives in Massachusetts with his wife, two daughters, and a Golden Retriever.An award-winning educator, he has taught English in independent schools for over thirty years. When a midlife crisis smacked him upside the head like a proverbial ton of bricks, Rosenholtz resisted the urge to join a motorcycle gang or hurl himself out of airplanes. Instead, he decided it was high time to write his first novel, Your Biggest Fan.

Review :
"...deviously comic, with glimmers of mania..." - Kirkus Reviews "Wickedly funny and delightfully strange! Rosenholtz's dazzling debut pairs a sardonic takedown of modern fandom and parasocial relationships with an astute meta-commentary on life and literature in the post-pandemic age. Your Biggest Fan is the Gen X midlife crisis novel we didn't know we needed." - Emily Holleman, author of Cleopatra's Shadows "Rosenholtz will make you laugh so hard at your middle age self that you'll forget to feel bad about how embarrassed your kids are by you. But even as Your Biggest Fan is a hilarious romp, it's also an exegesis on life, family, disappointment and the power of music." - Melissa Kantor, author of Maybe One Day and Confessions of a Not It Girl "I laughed out loud reading Your Biggest Fan. Out of his mid-life crisis, Rosenholtz has created a narrator in a mid-life crisis who is obsessed with doubles of all kinds - doppelgangers, mirrors, fictions - and who seeks redemption from the culture's current emblem of good fame. Are the people in this narrative mirror closer or farther than they appear? To borrow an idea from the novel, Rosenholtz has written an omakase of unreliability with a concentration on the funny fish." - Benjamin Gantcher, author of Snow Farmer and The Coronation of the Ghost "The word 'fan' is a light-hearted, even affectionate, term one applies to a love of particular people, places and practices. But it derives from 'fanatic, ' one with much darker overtones. In Your Biggest Fan, debut novelist Jeremy Rosenholtz deftly maps the blurry border between them in a tour de force of insight, intertextuality, and hilarity..." - Jim Cullen, author of Bridge & Tunnel Boys: Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and the Metropolitan Sound of the American Century "An intriguing investigation of obsession and parasocial connections that is both hilarious and unsettling." - Independent Book Review
