Desert Superbloom: Las Vegas Writers on Scarcity and Abundance

Desert Superbloom: Las Vegas Writers on Scarcity and Abundance

S.G. Tasz
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
In this collection of original essays, stories, and graphic narratives, 15 local writers and artists portray their city as a place in which money is king and water is scant. What does it mean to be a creative being when you live in an environment that revels in conspicuous displays of wealth, while glaring inequalities fester just below the surface? What is it like to grow up in Las Vegas, provide care to an ailing parent, turn a barren yard into a lush landscape, rub elbows with Alice Cooper and Frank Zappa, play frisbee golf during the pandemic, and find beauty and sustenance in the unlikeliest of environments? With unique perspectives on blossoming in luxurious yet resource-starved southern Nevada, Desert Superbloom takes a deep dive into a city that flaunts so much and cherishes so little.

Las Vegas Writes is a program of Nevada Humanities, published by Huntington Press, with support from the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, and part of the Las Vegas Book Festival. Las Vegas Writes anthology is an annual collection of writings by local authors focused on a theme connected to Las Vegas.
