Dead Stars Audiobook

Quotes

• “Wagner’s prose reads like the lovechild of Hunter S. Thompson and David Foster Wallace…The most enjoyable riffs in Dead Stars display Wagner’s up-to-the-nanosecond insider’s knowledge of the LA scene…He also writes some clean, mean, glittery dialogue.”

  — Washington Post

• “Not just the best novel about Americans and fame of the past dozen years but the best since Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust.”

  — Wall Street Journal

• “There are few writers capable of escorting us more convincingly into a character’s tender, gnarled mind. Dead Stars, easily Wagner’s best and most ambitious novel yet, is a huge, riveting book…every page contains something statically electric enough to scorch the hair from your arms.”

  — GQ

• “Written in hyper-hilarious, brilliant prose, [Dead Stars] renders an obsessive pop-culture nightmare of surprising realism and light, illuminating the meanest corners of its characters’—and our culture’s—desperation.”
