The Bitter Angels

Meet Stanley Kosinski, a struggling Los Angeles musician

preparing to visit his Dionysian friend, Alex, who is now

ensconced as the manager of a residential hotel in San

Francisco. Comedy and brittle social cynicism are

combined into one, as the tenants who live in

the X Hotel insinuate their broken lives into

the protagonists psyches. A wild ride

brimming with potential ecstasies

and bitter disappointment

are the catalysts, delivering

up the stor y of

the most disastrous

v a c a t i o n i n

literary history.
