Fiction
The unnamed narrator in L.A. Fadeaway is twenty-three, the
son of a studio head, rich, entitled, and working in the
trainee program of the hottest talent agency in Los Angeles.
Fueled by massive quantities of unchecked ambition and
attitude, he has one goal: become an agent and take over
Hollywood. Yet in spite of his cocky-cool demeanor, living the “life”
is not all it’s cracked up to be. This born-andbred boy of
la-la land is consumed with constant anxiety, which he dulls
with the usual tools of the trade: Xanax, alcohol, pot, and
porn. He knows all too well that Hollywood is a zerosum
game: the only way to get power is to take it. The question
is how low is he willing to go in order to ascend the
Hollywood canyons—and will his determination to follow in
his father’s footsteps change after the discovery of an
awful family secret? Ready to take his rightful place in the canon with Sammy
Glick, L.A. Fadeaway’s enigmatic hero takes readers deep
into this dark, star-filled subculture with a hilarious,
brutally honest, and unfiltered eye. In L.A. Fadeaway, never
has Hollywood been so frightening— or fun.
