Pretty Things (Paperback, 1st ed)

Booklist called Susan Compo "smart, sassy, and tough," while Publishers Weekly praised her "witty, unflinching prose." Compo's narrative voice--satirical and allusive--has been compared to Dorothy Parker's, and her characters display the same irresistible blend of smart-ass wit, despair, and whistling-in-the-dark bravado. Pretty Things offers both a sparkling portrait of a talent agent juggling the interests of her oddball clients, and a haunting memoir of growing up in suburban Orange County and coming of age in 1970s glitter-era Los Angeles. "No one writes prose like Susan Compo. She's a complete Los -Angeles original--elegant, wistful, funny?.?.?. and not to be missed."--Sandra Tsing Loh
