Celebrated "Diva of the Demimonde [who writes] a love song to life on the shday side" (Katherine Dunn, "Geek Love"), Viva Las Vegas, the award-winning author of "Magic Gardens" and "The Last Days of My Left Breast" returns with a collection of popular writings from her days as an editor of Exotic Magazine. A born evangelist who never lets the grass grow under her feet, Viva's "Gospels" traverse red-lit Paris nights, rock'n'roll's backstages, New York City on 9/11, and the seedy wonderland of Portland's underground.
