Chosen as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, I'm Losing You is set in a land of H.I.V.I.Ps, porn stars in love, scheming dermatologists, and cell-phone conversations that never connect. It is a place of celebrity chore-whores, masseurs, traitorous shrinks, syphilitic cantors, sightless children, and dying men who wear $400,000 watches. It's Hollywood, cordless and unplugged — where the two most-heard comments are "I'm losing you..". and "I'll let you go".
With a sensibility that calls to mind Nashville (set in Tinseltown, as told by Virgil) — from the prying eyes of Hard Copy to the babbling cellular matrix of darkest night — Bruce Wagner charts the morbidity and mortality of a culture's current affairs, depicting the national obsession with fame and fortune — truth and consequence — as never before.
