The Blitz book club: Glamorama

 

Glamoramatells the tale of it boy and model Victor Ward, who’s maxed out on Xanax and unable to formulate an opinion. He is cash poor, but everything’s cool, baby. That is until he’s offered $300,000 to locate an ex-lover in London and ends up amongst a crowd of ruthless maniacal models bent on terror. Celebrities are cast as extras in this movie that is Ward’s reality, but the script isn’t making any sense, and the actors are all distorting their roles. While Ward cheekily avows that “the better you look, the more you see,” that doesn’t seem be the case as even beautiful Victor is clueless to just about everything, except for who’s who.
