Author
Following her critically acclaimed collection of short stories City of Boys Beth Nugent brings her dark and eerie vision to a powerful first novel.. Live Girls is the story of Catherine in her twenties who sells tickets in a run-down porn theater in a decrepit port city A sign in the window of the seedy hotel where she lives reads Transients Welcome. Her only friend is Jerome an anorexic drag queen who searches for love among the sailors.. As Catherine and Jerome set out for Hollywood we witness -with equal horror and fascination -- their desperate attempt to find redemption in a world that offers them so little.. In haunting stylized prose Nugent takes us deep into her protagonists psyche while painting a bizarre -- yet oddly familiar -- picture of a dissociated disconnected America. Live Girls is a tour de force that will leave no one who reads it unshaken.
