Baroque-A-Nova

A poignant, witty debut novel of family, race, and fame follows Saul St. Pierre, who must cope with the TV crews, fans, and nutty people who flock to his town after the suicide of his long-absent famous folksinger mother, as well as his stepmother Jana's love life, his suspension from school for staging a demonstration against censorship, and the arrival of two young women from New York who have come to worship his father.
