About The Book
With his dark wit and corrosive dialogue, Eric Bogosian tells a powerful and emotionally wrenching tale of two lovers who form a mesmerizing and destructive bond while trying to evade the looming failure of their respective lives.
Reba runs away from her shabby and desolate rural community for the lure of New York City. Her tall and awkward frame lands her work modeling, but she is not prepared for the glamorous, drug-fueled life of a celebrated mannequin. After a series of painful relationships, she sees hope and an exit toward stability and sanity in the man who saves her brother’s life.
This man is Rick, a successful SoHo general practitioner with a warm family and an idyllic life that has left him restless and hollow. He doesn’t take Reba seriously until he finds himself so enmeshed in her beauty that he risks losing everything — his home, his children and his beloved wife.
Now this master monologist and author of the acclaimed Mall returns with a sprawling novel of urban desperation and desire that brings to mind the winding narratives of Tom Wolfe salted with the dark urges of Philip Roth. The New York Times hailed Eric Bogosian’s fiction as “caustic, fast-paced….Adapting himself to fiction with…the same garrulous intensity he brings to plays and monologues, Mr. Bogosian sets in motion a suburban nightmare.” And Entertainment Weekly has lauded his “merciless satirical vision (that) takes you deep into the dark heart of the American dream.”
Wasted Beauty is Bogosian’s enthralling journey through the high life of drugs and fashion celebrity, middle-class guilt and sexual obsession.
