Vagablonde, (Paperback)

<b><b>From the bestselling author of <i>Perfume and Pain</i> comes a razor-sharp portrait of ambition and the dark allure of fame as a young lawyer pursues her dreams of viral rap stardom, at any cost.</b></b> <p>Prue is a thirty-year-old attorney who wants two things--the first is to live without psychotropic medication, and the second is to experience success as a rap artist. Her life is good on paper: she has an easy government job and a nice girlfriend who gets her in to all the right shows, but she wants to truly <i>thrive</i>. </p><p>When Prue is introduced to music producer Jax Jameson, a human disco ball as manic and unpredictable as he is talented, they instantly vibe. Prue joins Jax's "Kingdom," a collective of musicians and artists who share Prue's aesthetic sensibilities and lust for escapism. </p><p>Soon, she's off her meds, closing her law practice, and becoming entangled with a suspect crew of heavy drug users. The group they form, Shiny AF, quickly reaches cult status and using the stage name Vagablonde, Prue finds herself in a new reality dependent on self-commodification and her growing fandom's approval. </p><p>An existential exploration of the toxicity of viral fame, <i>Vagablonde</i> is an "intoxicating" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>) and tumultuous portrait of life in Los Angeles and announces Anna Dorn as a fierce new voice in contemporary fiction.</p>
