Stoned and porn-addicted surfer Baxter Kent is terrified of women and anxious to make things work with a sex robot. Acid junkie Arden Coover has a useless philosophy degree and a doomed relationship he believes might save him. His younger sister Tess is considering, or resisting, a convenient but loveless marriage to a wealthy, narcissistic novelist. Ryland Richter, an alcoholic insurance executive with too much money and too few scruples, is seeking toxic solace in the arms of a dangerously unhinged subordinate. As wildfires rage, this lost and hopeless cast makes their way through the embers of Los Angeles and beyond in a desperate search for meaning and connection in a world without a future. Chandler Morrison's latest satire explores our search for love in all the wrong places, and what happens when we think we find it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dead Sky Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45125211619479,"sku":"9781639511402","price":1369.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781639511402.webp?v=1767650771","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-cruel-and-splendid-thirst-9781639511402","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
