I'm Losing You

Each decade brings a great Hollywood novel, one breathtaking in its scope and originality, a story that captures the soul of its time. As the millennium approaches, that novel is Bruce Wagner's I'm Losing You.Chosen as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, I'm Losing You is set in a land of H.I.V.I.Ps, porn stars in love, scheming dermatologists, and cell-phone conversations that never connect. It is a place of celebrity chore-whores, masseurs, traitorous shrinks, syphilitic cantors, sightless children, and dying men who wear $400,000 watches. It's Hollywood, cordless and unplugged--where the two most-heard comments are "I'm losing you" and "I'll let you go."With a sensibility that calls to mind Nashville (set in Tinseltown, as told by Virgil)"from the prying eyes of Hard Copy to the babbling cellular matrix of darkest night" Bruce Wagner charts the morbidity and mortality of a culture's current affairs, depicting the national obsession with fame and fortune--truth and consequence--as never before.Wagner, Bruce is the author of 'I'm Losing You', published 1998 under ISBN 9780517268773 and ISBN 0517268779.
