3. John O’Brien, Leaving Las Vegas
A disturbing love story set in a darker Las Vegas. Leaving Las Vegas tells a tale of a Sera, a Las Vegas prostitute, and Ben, a suicidal alcoholic: two lost souls tangled in an unconditional and wrenching love affair. This haunting and almost poetic view of addiction and the sad, dark beauty of Vegas is seductively written and makes for an emotional and moving read. It has often been described as the “overlooked American classic”.
