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 protagonist's 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. From the Hardcover edition.Binding Type: Paperback

Great for the price.
Color: Brown, Size: X-Large
I bought this vest for my brother in the Philippines. He like a vest with a fringe or tassel, and this is the only item that has it. I am rating it a 5 star because of a quick replacement for the defective item that I received at first. The materials used are thin, however, the vest still looks great. I hope they will last a bit longer after several washing.

Cheap-poorly made junk
Color: Coffee, Size: XX-Large
I needed a vest with some fringe for a costume party on 11/24/23. I looked at many others but decided on this one due to the fact it would arrive on Wednesday instead of Friday, the day of the party. I beyond disappointed in the quality and fit of this vest. I knew that it was faux leather but it was the worst faux leather type material I had ever seen. The fit was terrible, said 2xl but 1xl tops. It was probably my worst purchase ever on Amazon. Save your money and do not purchase this vest.
