Book Description: <p> One of the most celebrated and controversial authors in America delivers his first novel a sweeping chronicle of contemporary Los Angeles that is bold, exhilarating, and utterly original. </p> <p> Dozens of characters pass across the reader's sight lines some never to be seen again but James Frey lingers on a handful of LA's lost souls and captures the dramatic narrative of their lives: a bright, ambitious young Mexican American woman who allows her future to be undone by a moment of searing humiliation; a supremely narcissistic action movie star whose passion for the unattainable object of his affection nearly destroys him; a couple, both nineteen years old, who flee their suffocating hometown and struggle to survive on the fringes of the great city; and an aging Venice Beach alcoholic whose life is turned upside down when a meth addled teenage girl shows up half dead outside the restroom he calls home. </p> <p> Throughout this strikingly powerful novel there is the relentless drumbeat of the millions of other stories that, taken as a whole, describe a city, a culture, and an age. A dazzling tour de force, <i>Bright Shiny Morning</i> illuminates the joys, horrors, and unexpected fortunes of life and death in Los Angeles. </p>
