Book Overview

The Pulitzer Prize finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Newjack delivers an irreverent, poignant, and revealing meditation on the lives of the rich in Aspen, Colorado.

Here is a classic report on the sweet temptation of wealth and the vainglorious quest for paradise as they exist in Aspen, Colorado, featuring a "cast of characters (that) includes such barn-size satirical targets as exclusive health clubs, over-the-hill drug dealers and movie stars and rock stars of wattages bright and dim" (The New Republic).
