Pasha
Adam
Pasha Adam is a novelist whose fiction explores the glamour, absurdity and darker corners of Los Angeles through satire, noir, crime and psychological horror. He is the author of American Asshole, Keep Santa Monica Clean, City of Angels and A Los Angeles Love Story.
Drawing on his time spent in Los Angeles, Adam writes about a city of struggling actors, failed screenwriters, dive bars, nightclubs, studio lots and people forever caught somewhere between reinvention and self-destruction.
His debut novel, American Asshole, received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews and was selected as one of its Best Books of 2016, with the magazine calling it “a sharp contemporary satire” of Hollywood, the internet and the media. Kirkus described Keep Santa Monica Clean as “a wildly entertaining take on Hollywood and the slime beneath the sparkle,” while praising A Los Angeles Love Story as “a sleek and subversive thriller.”
The more existential a problem is, the better, and Los Angeles is nothing if not a city built on existential problems.
