Wagner takes readers on a literary journey, pushing them beyond their comfort zone and then pulling them back into the light. His two novellas, The Met Gala and Tales of Saints and Seekers, explore different aspects of the human experience. The Met Gala follows a prominent family of influencers and would-be philanthropic socialites in the Hollywood hills as they spiral further away from reality. Candida, a young actress, sleeps with the unhoused, while her brother, Charlie, transitions into womanhood at the age of eleven. Their mother and father have long been divorced, but they come together to completely traumatize their daughters, ruining their lives and destroying many others along the way. Tales of Saints and Seekers is a digestivo, a collection of stories about the journey to enlightenment and the wisdom given by gurus along the way. Where The Met Gala pushes past boundaries and steps over the line, Tales of Saints and Seekers knows that there is no line at all, only characters who travel on their own paths, sometimes straying and other times going completely off the map. Wagner is able to hold the dichotomy of the sacred and profane in one book, smearing them together and ripping them apart. The Met Gala \u0026amp; Tales of Saints and Seekers is a book that will leave readers thinking long after they finish it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 522g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 237 x 31 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781648210419\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruce Wagner","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46582237757690,"sku":"9781648210419","price":14.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1723836742588_book.jpg?v=1724066177","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-met-gala-tales-of-saints-and-seekers-two-novellas-9781648210419","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
