The Delivery Man is a thrilling and astonishing debut--a scary,
fast-paced, and illuminating portrait of the MySpace generation. It
is a love story set against the surreal excess of Las Vegas--and
the artificial suburbs, gated communities, and freeways that
surround it--where broken lives come to seek new beginnings and
casinos feed the lust of tourists and residents alike.
Ultra-sophisticated local kids grow up fast and burn out early.
After attending college in New York, Chase returns to Vegas and is
drawn into the lucrative but dangerous world of a teenage call-girl
service with his childhood friend, Michele, a beautiful Salvadoran
immigrant with whom he shares a tragic past. Over the course of one
extraordinary summer they will confront the violence and emptiness
at the heart of the city and their generation. At once stark and
electrically atmospheric, horrifying and hopeful, The Delivery Man
is an ambitious literary novel as well as a fast and absorbing
page-turner--and a powerful indictment of a society in which
personal responsibility has been abandoned, lust is increasingly
mistaken for love, and innocence is an anachronism.
