Description
A raw, semiautobiographical literary odyssey by Jo Szewczyk
Dive into the flickering neon haze of 1990s Las Vegas, where an unnamed taekwondo fighter and a battered housewife crash together in a city that never sleeps. Wild parties, reckless hookups, and brutal hangovers collide with the quiet ache of a generation lost in crumbling norms. Amid slot-machine din and desert emptiness, they forge a fragile bond while confronting trauma, sexuality, and the long shadow of the AIDS era.
Szewczyk’s prose snaps with dark humor and unflinching empathy, stripping the glamour to expose the vulnerability underneath. This isn’t just a ’90s snapshot—it’s a testament to Gen X’s stubborn survival and the messy, relentless search for meaning and love in a world that forgot them.
Perfect for fans of Trainspotting and Less Than Zero. Vegas unfiltered. Survival means embracing the broken.
