Literary Las Vegas: The Best Writing about America's Most Fabulous City

by Mike Tronnes

Literary Las Vegas: The Best Writing about America's Most Fabulous City Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Literary Las Vegas brings together the best writings from this neon outpost in the desert. Ranging from the hilarious to the tragic, these pieces provide what Nick Tosches calls a "Baedecker to the bizarre, a Virgil in shades, not only to the holy city but to the off-the-rack soul that we, one nation under Frankie's toup, so strangely and fatally share." Incisive, entertaining, and highly readable, Literary Las Vegas creates a unique anecdotal history about this one-of-a-kind place.
