false 603442 3 From the lost generation of Andy Warhol's New York to the cocaine-fueled runways of the top fashion houses of Paris and Milan, <i>Scary Kisses</i> captures the tenderness and cruelty of the beautiful people circa 1980, living behind the pages of <i>Vogue</i> and <i>GQ</i>. As a portrait of this time and this place, <i>Scary Kisses</i> shares a place with <i>Bright Lights</i>, <i>Big City</i>, <i>Slaves of New York</i>, and <i>The Bonfire of the Vanities</i> as a classic portrait of the seductive pull of Manhattan nightlife. <br><br> The story centers on a menage á trois that drifts listlessly into a spiral of cynicism and nihilistic gratification. With raw, voyeuristic detail, Brad Gooch's precise, snapshot prose re-creates a time unlike any other, and characters that flash with a stark, bright realism. 590012 1988 Scary Kisses total:10|5:2|4:1|3:5|2:0|1:2| 10 31 14 1 5 0 false false Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 1994 Mon Jan 21 10:32:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 10:33:20 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Mon Nov 09 05:30:06 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 05:30:09 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 07:31:27 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 07:31:27 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jul 09 12:32:23 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 12:32:23 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu May 28 12:44:12 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 12:44:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 09 16:49:54 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 16:49:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 03 05:07:25 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 05:07:25 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Feb 08 16:03:02 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 16:03:02 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 28 13:32:01 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 13:32:01 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sun Feb 10 14:05:58 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 14:05:58 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 05 08:02:56 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 28 11:12:25 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Tue Oct 30 15:56:03 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 30 15:56:03 -0700 2007 1 0 false false Tue Oct 23 07:34:40 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 07:34:40 -0700 2007 1 0 false false Tue Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 1994 Tue Apr 10 06:40:47 -0700 2007 Tue Apr 10 06:40:47 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/1?book_id=7067937 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/3?book_id=7067937 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/2?book_id=7067937 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=7067937 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/4?book_id=7067937 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/5?book_id=7067937 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/6?book_id=7067937 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/7?book_id=7067937 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/9?book_id=7067937 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/10?book_id=7067937
