Superb stylist,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vegas: A Memoir of a Dark Season (Hardcover)
The obituaries of John Gregory Dunne led me to VEGAS, a fictionalized autobiography that cuts between the author's residence in 1970s Las Vegas and his youth of 20 years earlier in Connecticut. It is a strange book filled with fascinating Vegas characters -- the comic, the bail bondsman, the hooker -- and their back stories, played out against the author's life story and his quest for, what exactly? Well, he lives a disconnected life, and finds meaning in the stories of others, but doesn't want to get too close because that would require an investment in time and care he isn't willing to make. He is a reporter. He is also a brilliant prose stylist, very funny, sharp, with keen observational and descriptive skills. A terrific book.
