In a novel capturing an era that seems at once familiar and
grotesque, a New York writer lands in Los Angeles in
1994.Originally published in 1997, Resentment was the first in Gary
Indiana's now-classic trilogy (followed in 1999 by Three Month
Fever: The Andrew Cunanan Story and in 2003 by Depraved
Indifference) chronicling the more-or-less permanent state of
"depraved indifference" that characterized American life at the
millennium's end. In Resentment, Seth, a New York-based writer
arrives in Los Angeles (where he has history and friends) in
mid-August, 1994, to observe what will become the marathon
parricide trial of the wealthy, athletic, and troubled Martinez
brothers, broadcast live every day on Court TV. Still reeling from
the end of his obsessive courtship of a young SoHo artist/waiter,
Seth moves between a room at the Chateau Marmont and a Mount
Washington shack owned by his old cab-driving, ex-Marxist friend,
Jack, while he writes a profile of Teddy Wade--one of the era's
hottest young actors, who has "dared" to star as a gay character in
a new Hollywood film. Studded throughout with scathing satirical
portraits of media figures, other writers, and the Martinez trial
teams, Resentment captures an era that seems, two decades later, at
once grotesque, familiar, and a precursor to our own.
