Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Lean Cat, Savage Cat by Lauren J. Joseph is a dizzying, sensual, and razor-sharp journey through creativity, fame, desire, and the fractured self.
What We Say: A riotous and raunchy novel about a woman whose search for Romy Haag, David Bowie’s Trans lover, is sidelined when she falls into a deep obsession with an enigmatic, androgynous musician – who is often compared to Bowie. In pursuit of stardom, the pair decamp to Berlin, where glorious, filthy chaos ensues. This book is a salacious romp of breathtaking self-invention and spectacular self-destruction. It’s a story of obsession and excess, doppelgängers and disassociation, fame and fandom, and the terrible things we do to feel loved.
What They Say: “The book that's been missing from my reading habits: classically glamourous, timelessly seductive” – Torrey Peters
