A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.

In the fierce lineage of Alissa Nutting's TAMPA amd Katherine Faw Morris' YOUNG GOD, this harrowing tale of systematic female self-destruction proves both hypnotic and frightening. Marie, a Dallas waitress at an upmarket steakhouse, is also a single mother, hooked on drugs and bad sex behind the glittering facade of her practiced professional smile and crisp white apron. A ferocious chronicle of a journey to the end of the night, the novel also manages in its own twisted way to be a tale of self-redemption and realization made all the more fascinating by its heroine's detached view of herself as a character out of reach and understanding as she throws herself recklessly into the arms of the wrong men and the consolations of booze and drugs. Gritty, a refreshing eye-opener about the behind the scenes of the service industry and forms of female masochism, a difficult but courageous book that no male writer I could think of would have had the guts to write with such revelatory honesty.
