Paradise Nevada

What a week!! It has been a busy one with work and traveling around for baseball, but I’m definitely not complaining. It’s been gorgeous out all week, and I’ve had a blast sitting out, soaking up the sun and cheering on my son.☀️⚾️

On to the book!

Thank you Bloomsbury Publishing for this wonderful gifted book!

“This is a heady read, filled with surprising turns of phrase and unexpected relationships . . . Readers of complex literary fiction will appreciate the sharp and nuanced writing.” ―Booklist

Synopsis: On Friday, May 1st, 2015 a bomb detonates in the infamous Positano Luxury Resort and Casino, a mammoth hotel (and exact replica of the Amalfi coast) on the Las Vegas Strip.

Six months prior, a crop of strivers converge on the desert city, attempting to make a home amidst the dizzying lights: Ray, a mathematically-minded high stakes professional poker player; Mary Ann, a clinically depressed cocktail waitress; Tom, a tourist from the working class suburbs of Rome, Italy; and Lindsay, a Mormon journalist for the Las Vegas Sun who dreams of a literary career. By chance and by design, they find themselves caught up in backroom schemes for personal and political power, and are thrown into the deep end of an even bigger fight for the soul of the paradoxical town.

A furiously rowdy and ricocheting saga about poker, happiness, class, and selflessness, Paradise, Nevada is a panoramic tour of America in miniature, a vertiginously beautiful systems novel where the bloody battles of neo-liberalism, immigration, labor, and family rage underneath Las Vegas' beguiling and strangely benevolent light. This exuberant debut marks the beginning of a significant career.
