Oliver Langmead launches Glitterati
Oliver Langmead joins Waterstones Sauchiehall Street to launch Glitterati, a fantastically dark story of the darkness behind the glamour of fashion and wealth in a stunning dystopia!
About Oliver Langmead launches Glitterati
Oliver will be in discussion with Joma West, author of the forthcoming novel Face, about fashion, wealth inequality, vicious rivalries and the resonances of the novel in today's world.
A Clockwork Orange and RuPaul's Drag Race meet Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in this fabulous dystopian fable about fashion, family and feckless billionaires. Simone is one of the Glitterati, the elite living lives of luxury and leisure. Slave to the ever-changing tides - and brutal judgements - of fashion, he is immaculate. To be anything else is to be unfashionable, and no one wants to be unfashionable, or even worse, ugly... When Simone accidentally starts a new fashion with a nosebleed at a party, another Glitterati takes the credit. Soon their rivalry threatens to raze their opulent utopia to the ground, as no one knows how to be vicious like the beautiful ones. Enter a world of the most fantastic costumes, grand palaces in the sky, the grandest parties known to mankind and the unbreakable rules of how to eat ice cream. A fabulous dystopian fable about fashion, family and the feckless billionaire class.
