Leaving Las Vegas, the first novel by John O'Brien, is the
disturbing and emotionally wrenching story of a woman who embraces
life and a man who rejects it. Sera is a prostitute, content with
the independence and routine she has carved out for herself in a
city defined by recklessness. But she is haunted by a specter in a
yellow Mercedes, a man from her past who is committed to taking
control of her life again. Ben is an alcoholic intent on drinking
his way toward an early death. Newly arrived from Los Angeles, he
survived the four-hour intoxicated drive across the desert with his
entire savings in his wallet and nothing else left to lose. Looking
to satisfy hungers both material and existential, Ben and Sera
stumble together on the strip and discover in each other a respite
from their unforgiving lives. A testimony to the raw talent of its
young author, Leaving Las Vegas is a compelling story of
unconditional love between two disenfranchised and lost souls--an
overlooked American classic.
