Bra och underhållande och helt utan filter om privatdeckare, prostituerade, män med livskris och bilskojare i Las Vegas. ( )

John Gregory Dunne was married to Joan Didion, I believe.
The book has a definite flavour of the darker parts of the works of Charles Bukowski, another man with a serious battle with the bottle. Dunne survives the time he spent in Nevada, and it is a state I don't recommend for self-treatment of a depressive. The prose is well crafted, and he has a real talent for writing, but not for self-help. I hoped that things got better for him after that. ( )
