Beschreibung

"It's very difficult to describe a Chandler Morrison novel--you kind of have to experience them for yourself to get what he's doing--but it is quite easy to say that this is one of the most entertaining, thoughtful, and just plain weird novels you're likely to read this year."--Booklist The American dream is dead, and Los Angeles is burning. Stoned and porn-addicted surfer Baxter Kent is terrified of women and anxious to make things work with a sex robot. Acid junkie Arden Coover has a useless philosophy degree and a doomed relationship he believes might save him. His younger sister Tess is considering, or resisting, a convenient but loveless marriage to a wealthy, narcissistic novelist. Ryland Richter, an alcoholic insurance executive with too much money and too few scruples, is seeking toxic solace in the arms of a dangerously unhinged subordinate. As wildfires rage, this lost and hopeless cast makes their way through the embers of Los Angeles and beyond in a desperate search for meaning and connection in a world without a future. Chandler Morrison's latest satire explores our search for love in all the wrong places, and what happens when we think we find it.
