Items related to Kamikaze Lust
Kamikaze Lust by first-time novelist Lauren Sanders takes the reader on an electrifying ride through the spectacle of life and death in millennial America. Smart, hardboiled and humorous, the novel taps our obsession with sex and death, sex and popular culture, sex and the written word, sex and pornography, sex and green M&Ms, and, of course, the perennial sex and love.
"Great courage must account for such complete disregard of political correctness, and great sensitivity for such sadness."
—Amanda Filipacchi, author of Vapor and Nude Men

Review:
"Great courage must account for such complete disregard of political correctness,and great sensitivity for such sadness." -- Amanda Filipacchi, author of Vapor and Nude Men
"Kamikaze Lust puts a snappy spin on a traditional theme--young woman in search of herself--and stands it on its head. In a crackling, rapid-fire voice studded with deadpan one-liners and evocative descriptions, Rachel Silver takes us to such far-flung places as a pompous charity benefit, the set of an "art porn" movie, her best friend's body, Las Vegas casinos, and the psyche of her own porn-star alter ego, Silver Ray, all knit together by the unspoken question: who am I, anyway? And as Rachel tells it, asking the question is more fun than knowing for sure could ever be." -- Kate Christensen, author of In the Drink
"Lauren Sanders' novel Kamikaze Lust makes a connection between unrealized lives, sexual repression, and the fear of death. In her hands, what is usually clichd or gratuitous is hot." -- Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls
