Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

One of the most talked about, critically acclaimed books -- a savagely poetic meditation on love, death and cellular phones.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.
