Description

 							
  
  "This uncanny
novel purports to chronicle the rise to almost-stardom of a singer-songwriter named Laurie Moss, who drives from San
Antonio to L.A. in her trusty little brown Datsun looking for the big break. The details are note-perfect: the wounded
titles of her songs; the ancient musky odor of the garage where her band plays together for the first time; the tender
admissions of the narrator, a rock critic who is 'at least two-thirds in love' with his subject. The completeness of the
world Shiner creates brings Laurie to life, and lends a sense of fatedness to her panicked walk toward fame."
  
  —New Yorker
  
  "Shiner's tale of the fictional Laurie Moss is... [just the] good parts, meaning
the minor but telling moments in an aspiring musician's life that mean little as they happen but everything in
retrospect...framed by the obsessive journalist's search for answers, Moss becomes a vivid character...Shiner has
written a fine novel about rock 'n' roll by believing more in musicians' human nature than in their mythologies."
 

  —Mark Athitakis, New York Times Book Review
  
  "Rock & roll literature? It seems like an
oxymoron, but Shiner pulls it off in this artful fictional chronicle of singer-songwriter, Laurie Moss, and her quest
for pop stardom."
  
  —Laura Morgan, Entertainment Weekly
  
  "Sappy...This isn't the great
rock novel we may never have. But like Tom Perrotta's The Wishbones, Jessica Hagedorn's The Gangster of Love, or Nick
Hornby's two novels, it's an emotionally credible account of how rock's grandiosity affects down-to-earth lives."
 

  —Eric Weisbard, Village Voice
  
  "The L.A. music-scene setting of Say Goodbye will likely
cause the book's exile to the rock-and-roll-novel ghetto. But that would be a tragedy, because Austin expat Lewis
Shiner's tale of almost-star Laurie Moss is a spare and remarkable book resonating with heart and bittersweet
reality."
  
  —Texas Monthly
  
  "Fresh and original...Shiner sings a song of loss and
striving, where hard work and a lucky break guarantee nothing...Shiner's extensive research gives an authentic feel and
keeps it from becoming a soap opera or a wearisome cover version of every other rise-and-fall parable. Honest,
unpretentious and heartfelt, this novel remains a haunting refrain."
  
  —Publishers Weekly
  
  "An engrossing novel about a rock singer...[Shiner] vivifies the uncertainties and boredom of the musician's life,
but more impressively, he manages to convey the almost indescribable joy of bringing an audience from a state of apathy
to the edge of hysteria. He also avoids most of the cliches of backstage life...a revealing look at today's music
business."
  —Booklist
  
  "Gritty, funny, cynical, and sentimental; a sharply focused epic that
brings welcome revision to the sunny, pop-culture success gospels that have led so many naive talents astray."
 

  —Kirkus Reviews
  
  "While everybody knows about the rock stars who succeed, Shiner has
finally told the story of the thousands who dream the dream but never make a dime. Say Goodbye is an absorbing,
hard-hitting tale that should be read by every rock star wannabe."
  
  —Dan R. Goddard, San Antonio
Express-News
  
  "All the virtues of old-fashioned storytelling—a heroine you can love, a world you
can live in—told in the key of of urban cool. Say Goodbye is a dream of a book, perfectly imagined, perfectly
imparted. Shiner's voice comes through with all his usual passionate authority, and he never hits a false note."
 

  —Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Sweetheart Season
  
  "Every band has an inner momentum like
this, its entangles and wreck tangles, moments of bliss mixed with the jarring reality of life in the belly of the music
business, and the shared song that makes it all worthwhile. Lewis Shiner sings that tale with harmonic compassion."
  
  —Lenny Kaye
  
  "Say Goodbye resonates like a blue note heard and remembered in a smoky,
late-night club. Lewis Shiner has written the Citizen Kane of rock and roll novels, a human and moving piece of
work."
  
  —George P. Pelecanos, author of The Sweet Forever
