Özet

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.

This book is meant to be edgy, if you think crudeness, disaffected people who smoke, and LA narcissim is edgy. It was edgy in the nineties when Bret Easton Ellis was writing this stuff but it's 2025 now... I feel like the author wants to say something but doesn't know what to say so is just rehashing old themes and uninspired ideas. None of the characters in this book felt real, just tinny caricatures of rich privileged people. Occasionally there was a funny moment, (e.g. the lanky fellows) but most of the time the book was a bit cringey, like a teenage boy's idea of edgy and interesting. Some of the dialogue really made me cringe (e.g. you taste like sweet sorrow, etc). I really liked Dead Inside but this lacked the spark.

Try hard and irritating
