- Summary:
- This extremely edgy and electric debut collection of stories focuses on teenagers who get into trouble, the intensity of their lives and vices written will a raw directness that makes the stories impossible to forget. "The History of Vegas announces an exciting fresh talent reminiscent of Mary Gaitskill, Denis Johnson, Jayne Anne Philips, and others who write unflinchingly and equally well about men and women. Pam Houston, author of "Sight Hound: A Novel and "Cowboys Are My Weakness, praises. "Jodi Angel's greatest talent is her refusal to look away as she tells the razor-edged truth about the lives of her young protagonists, each one poised on the edge of an adulthood they cannot possibly survive-all the while keeping one ear pricked for the sound of redemption. These are wonderful, terrible, dangerous stories."
