Beschreibung

When reclusive billionaire Huguette Clark dies age 104, she leaves behind a suite of New York apartments, a meticulously-upkept California mansion, at least one Monet and her vast collection of antique dolls.
Having barely been outside for 50 years, the elusive Clark spoke to few - in this highly unreliable, semi-fictional miniature epic, the dolls tell all.

Theirs is a tale that takes us from their lavish, Park Avenue home back in time to the slave plantations of Virginia and the palaces of Imperial Japan via the addictive hedonism of 1930s queer LA.

Joyfully irreverent, Top Doll is a story of love, betrayal, Barbies and ultimately, what it means to be human.
