postmodernblues 's review for:

Still Life Las Vegas by James Sie
4.0
dark emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Finally the Vegas-set book I was hoping for (after reading three mediocre ones). I loved so many aspects of this. Pilgrimages to the Liberace museum? Artificiality and reality? Myth intruding upon the present? Great stuff. So glad I picked this up.
