Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. i wanted this to be good. it started out well. but there are so many characters and it's told in 3rd person, so you are always detached from the characters. it's hard to develop feeling for the story. reads like a movie, maybe a screenplay.

Dean Decetes, a pornographer with messianic delusions, spins out of control in Los Angeles, where he spends his time drinking himself into a stupor, getting beaten up by strangers he's recklessly insulted, stealing credit cards to pay for sex, being arrested, begging favors, and mounting a PR campaign to make himself famous, with the help of a "loyal footsoldier" -- a porn-loving midget he met in jail. Meanwhile his pious, romantic spinster sister, who reluctantly keeps house for him, busies herself writing quasi-religious love notes to the boss she worships at the statistics company where she works, and her co-workers--an obsessive-compulsive Christian Scientist in a twisted marriage and a promiscuous, depressed blond bomb-shell--become enmeshed in her life as she dreams of ridding herself of her freeloading brother and being carried away on a white horse by her employer. Next door, a teenage math genius runs away from home after her mother humiliates her in school and hooks up at a bar with Decetes's suicidal editor. The story is told from five points of view--those of Decetes, his sister, the lonely blonde, the Christian scientist & the high school math genius--over three days which the five lives intersect.
