...shut up," says Samantha Ronson, whose debut rock album, Red, is scheduled for release in March. "But then you remember he came from nothing and built all this, and you respect what he's saying." Ronson, 26, should cherish such attention--Dash has been hawking her single, Pull My Hair Out, in clubs and on the street. (He says CEOS should not avoid dirty work once they reach the top.)

The Opposite of Fate is an attempt to pull at some of the loose ends, with added ruminations on the quirks of celebrity authorship, recollections of rocking-and-rolling with Stephen King and an inevitable (and forgettable) commencement address. But Tan's best essays are essentially ghost stories that cut through the knotted past to recover a measure of understanding...
