Description
A sparkling portrait of a talent agent juggling the interests of her oddball clients, combined with a haunting memoir of coming of age in 1970s glitter-era Los Angeles. Susan Compo's satirical and allusive narrative voice has been compared to Dorothy Parker's, and her characters display an irresistible blend of smart-ass wit, despair, and whistling-in-the-dark bravado.
