Fan Fiction: A Mem-Noir: Inspired by True Events, by Brent Spiner, 2021
Weird, fun, loopy, and self-referential, I think you have to be a Star Trek: TNG fan to be able to appreciate this book. It's not groundbreaking nor probably turn into a future classic, but it had its moments. It's part memoir, part fiction-noir pastiche, but generally entertaining and makes me wonder how much is true.
The story starts off with a pig's penis, death threats from Lal, Data's android daughter, twin ladies of interest, and some killings or murders. Along the way, we get tidbits of what set life is like for an actor working on a Star Trek set in Hollywood.
Overall, Brent Spiner did manage to get more than a few hearty chortles out of me, out loud. I say listen to the audiobook, read by Spiner himself, and it'll be worth your while, mostly.
I rate this book 3.75 stars out of 5 stars.
