Samenvatting

It is a story with all the sprawling vastness of Los Angeles and the "bigger than life" ferocity of Hollywood. It is a land of H.I.V.I.P.'s, porn stars in love, scheming dermatologists, cell-phone conversations that never quite connect, and dying men who wear million-dollar watches. It is a place of celebrity chore-whores and masseurs, of syphilitic cantors, traitorous shrinks, and sightless children - a place where a great movie star, paralyzed from a botched root canal, lies helplessly while orderlies sell tickets to her nakedness. It is a business where the shyster producer of a hit dog movie hopes his next project will be a remake of Gogol's Dead Souls - this time around featuring Alec Baldwin as a burnt-out salesman hustling life insurance to persons with AIDS. It's a town where a mad agent plays God to a homeless woman - an affair that ends in sodomy, pedophilia, and murder. It is Hollywood, cordless, unplugged, and exposed, where the two most heard comments are "I'll let you go" and "Hold on...I'm losing you..."
With a sensibility that calls to mind Nashville (set in Hollywood, 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. I'm Losing You depicts the national obsession with fame and fortune - truth and consequence - as never before.
