Fiction
Three dramatic and emblematic stories intertwine in
Zachary Lazar's extraordinary new novel, SWAY--the early
days of the Rolling Stones, including the romantic
triangle of Brian Jones, Anita Pallenberg, and Keith
Richards; the life of avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger;
and the community of Charles Manson and his followers.
Lazar illuminates an hour in American history when rapture
found its roots in idolatrous figures and led to
unprovoked and inexplicable violence. Connecting all the
stories in this novel is Bobby Beausoleil, a beautiful
California boy who appeared in an Anger film and
eventually joined the Manson "family." With great
artistry, Lazar weaves scenes from these real lives
together into a true but heightened reality, making
superstars human, giving demons reality, and restoring
mythic events to the scale of daily life.
