A re-issue of John OBriens debut novel, a masterpiece of modern realism about the perils of addiction and love in a city of loneliness. n n Leaving Las Vegas, the first novel by John OBrien, is the disturbing and emotionally wrenching story of a woman who embraces life and a man who rejects it. n n 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 spectre in a yellow Mercedes, a man from her past who is committed to taking control of her life again. n n Ben is an alcoholic intent on drinking his way towards 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. n n 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. n n 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. n
