This brilliant and hilarious novel is On the Road meets Catcher in the Rye in modern-day Los Angeles. One day Lou Brown decided to kill himself. But when he sat down to craft a suicide letter, the simple act of committing words to the page was like opening up a window to his mind, allowing the whole world to shine. His book went on to become a runaway bestseller, making him a literary icon, earning him all the trappings of the American Dream. It's now five years later and the obligations that come along with great success have robbed him of the freedom he values above all else. When Lou suspects his fiance of an infidelity, he moves into the Frontier Motel, setting himself up for a week-long adventure where he'll once again learn to buck convention, indulge in his honest appetites, and follow his uninhibited instincts.

High in the Streets is by turns hilarious, moving, and raw. A gritty tour de force that takes the best aspects of James Salter, Norman Mailer, and Bret Easton Ellis to heart, Binder's novel is an accomplished debut by a writer with a singular, animated voice, attuned to the strange rhythms and desperation of latter-day Los Angeles and the people who live there. -- Michael Abolafia, reviewer New York Review Books, 2015 Binder is a born storyteller, and his novel is as philosophically astute as it is hilariously funny. We can expect great things from this wild new voice. -- Clancy Martin, a Guggenheim Fellow and the Pushcart Prize-winning author of the books How to Sell (FSG), Love & Lies (FSG), Bad Sex (Tyrant) 2015
