À propos de cet audio

The sacred and the profane come together with visceral force in two novellas by Bruce Wagner, The Met Gala & Tales of Saints and Seekers.

The Met Gala follows a prominent family of influencers and would-be philanthropic socialites in the Hollywood hills as they spiral ever further away from reality. Candida is a young actress who sleeps with the “unhoused”—the ultimate charitable act—and her brother, Charlie, transitioned into womanhood at the age of eleven. Their mother and father have long been divorced but still come together to torment their children, mutilating and destroying friends and enemies along the way.

Tales of Saints and Seekers is the digestivo, a collection of stories about the journey to enlightenment and the wisdom given by gurus. Where The Met Gala pushes past boundaries and steps over the line, Tales of Saints and Seekers knows that there is no line at all, only characters who travel on their own path, sometimes straying and other times going completely off the map. Wagner is able to hold the dichotomy of the sacred and profane in one book, smearing them together, and ripping them apart.

The Met Gala & Tales of Saints and Seekers is an illuminated manuscript of Heaven and Hell.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Devilish. Dizzying. Masterly . . . Wagner shines.”—Publishers Weekly

“Wagner often turns to parables for inspiration, in both the creative and the mystical sense; he sees the City of Angels as a fitting backdrop for their spiritual successors. . . . People who read his books sometimes get nervous to travel to Los Angeles after closing the cover . . . LA living can be strange, startling, and even scary, but as Wagner knows, it’s certainly never boring.”—Brittany Menjivar, Los Angeles Review of Books

"In customary style, Mr. Wagner mixes exquisite depictions of real-life moguls and movie stars with hashtagged culture topics . . . he shapes the barrage of contemporary ephemera into the mold of ancient tragedy."—Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal
