About the book -
Crit, by Andrew Kiraly, is a novel about notorious L.A. rock critic Gabe Sack. After he decides to quit his job, Gabe Sack’s final assignment is a heart-of-darkness journey to the bright lights of Sin City, where he’s supposed to pen a withering profile of a legendary lounge singer, Hambert Larkin. But in that land of cheap fakes and grand illusions, Gabe discovers that Hambert Larkin is much more than just a target for an easy hit piece. In Las Vegas, Gabe realizes that redemption can come in the most unlikely places, that frauds and thieves can be saviors in disguise – and that dive-bar karaoke just might save your life. Crit, published by the Stephens Press imprint, CityLife Books, is the hilarious and heartbreaking story of what happens when a rock critic takes the ultimate gamble – and reviews himself.
