Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:“In Sanders’s hands, what is usually cliché or gratuitous is hot.” —Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls Award-winning novelist Lauren Sanders offers a story about the isolation and loneliness of adolescence and the neglect—benign as it may be—of the familial, cultural, and political institutions that are supposed to provide some sort of “support system.” Lauren Sanders is a novelist and journalist who lives in New York City. Her highly acclaimed debut novel, Kamikaze Lust (Akashic, 2000), won a 2001 Lambda Literary Award. Sanders’s writing has appeared in many publications including the American Book Review, Poets & Writers, and Time Out New York. Synopsis:A lonely teenage girl takes the life of a soap opera actress she's been enamored with. Synopsis:Fiction. Gay/Lesbian Studies. Lauren Sanders follows up her award-winning debut novel, KAMIKAZE LUST, with this "hot poetic book I wouldn't kick out of bed"--Eileen Myles. WITH OR WITHOUT YOU combines the aching adolescent heart of The Catcher in the Rye with the dark suburban soul of The Great Gatsby-set against the the starstruck voyeurism of American Idol. This book asks the quintessentially American question: Is life worth living if you can't be famous? Synopsis:Summer 1987. Lillian Ginger Speck, high-school graduate, sits in her jail cell contemplating the steps and missteps that led her to murder soap opera star Brooke Harrison in cold blood one bright and muggy New York afternoon. Lily had admired the young star for some time, and her loss is palpable. Her story is therefore part apologia, part love note and suicide pact. Meanwhile, Brooke Harrisons mother has a tale of her own to tell. In this edgy and compelling whydunit,the accounts of predator and victim intertwine. The result is a wry exploration of the contemporary American melting pot of status, beauty, celebrity, violence, and obsession.
