About this product

Product Information

Leaving Las Vegas, the first novel by John O'Brien, is the disturbing and emotionally wrenching story of a woman who embraces life and a man who rejects it. Sera is a prostitute, content with the independence and routine she has carved out for herself in a city defined by recklessness. But she is haunted by a spectre in a yellow Mercedes, a man from her past who is committed to taking control of her life again. Ben is an alcoholic intent on drinking his way toward an early death. Newly arrived from Los Angeles, he survived the four-hour intoxicated drive across the desert with his entire savings in his wallet and nothing else left to lose. Looking to satisfy hungers both material and existential, Ben and Sera stumble together on the strip and discover in each other a respite from their unforgiving lives. A testimony to the raw talent of its young author, Leaving Las Vegas is a compelling story of unconditional love between two disenfranchised and lost souls - an overlooked American classic.

  • Outstanding and no need for a sequel....some things are just best left alone.

    A must read! Dark, chilling and plucks at every emotion throughout. A real journey into the depth of human feelings, values and leaves an underlying question of what are we really looking for? Perhaps the most fundamental things that we all need come in the purest of forms. This story answers us on many levels. Terrific writing from a man who clearly saw something that many cannot. Rest in peace John O'Brien.
