No one writes about the extremes of being a fan like Nick Hornby. Juliet, Naked tells the story of Tucker Crow, an obscure American rock musician who hasn’t been heard from in 20 years, his obsessive English fan, Duncan, who maintains a “Crowology” website and Annie, Duncan’s girlfriend, who has gone along for the ride. All of their worlds are turned around when a long-lost demo of Tucker’s original hit is released and Annie posts some opinions of her own.
The audiobook version is especially enjoyable, with Bill Irwin and Jennifer Wiltsie reading alternating chapters, with music by Ben Miles.
