South on Highland

“A very cool debut from a very cool writer. South on Highland belongs to a special literary tradition: the kind of book that kids will steal from each other.” —B.J. Novak, bestselling author of One More Thing and and Book with No Pictures

“A humorous work of provocative nostalgia. Liana Maeby has written Less Than Zero for the emoji generation.” —Jason Reitman, director of Juno and Up in the Air

“Liana Maeby has a serious way with words. South on Highland is a delightful, Adderall-fueled romp through Hollywood indulgence.” —Ariel Schrag, author of Adam

“Hilarious and gut wrenching, both by turns and sometimes simultaneously. If this world is familiar to you, you’ll instantly fall into its authentic groove. If it’s foreign, you’ll find no tour guide more witty, more soulful, or more full of perception than the immensely talented Liana Maeby.” —Rian Johnson, writer and director of Brick and Looper

“Liana Maeby has crafted a magic trick of a novel—profane and funny and devastating, and above all, fun as hell. As sexy and silly, dangerous and creepy as Jim Morrison’s leather pants, South on Highland does what the best drug novels do: make one both deeply aware of the insidious cost of drug addiction, and want to go get super wasted.” —Stephen Falk, creator of You’re the Worst on FX

“Don’t say no to Maeby, say yes to South on Highland. If the madness and kaleidoscope values that make up life in LA could be captured in a book, it would have to be in the format hilariously realized in this incredible book. So funny because it’s so real, so real because it’s so horrifying, Liana Maeby has written the ultimate eulogy to American culture at its logical and geographic endpoint.” —Richard Rushfield, editor-in-chief of HitFix and author of Don’t Follow Me, I’m Lost

“Liana Maeby makes possibly dying from a head wound on the floor of a millionaire’s bathroom funnier than it has any right to be. South on Highland is fast, thrilling, and incredibly clever.” —Kevin Seccia, author of Punching Tom
