I MET SOMEONE tells the story of Oscar award-winning actress Dusty Wilding, her wife Allegra, a long-lost daughter and the unspeakable secret hidden beneath the glamour of their lavish, carefully calibrated, celebrity life. After Allegra suffers a miscarriage, Dusty searches for the daughter she lost at age 16. With riveting suspense, Wagner moves between the perspectives of his characters, revealing their individual trauma and the uncanny connections to each other's past lives.

Moving forward with the inexorable force of a tsunami, DEAD STARS is Bruce Wagner’s most lavish and remarkable translation yet of the national zeitgeist: post-privacy porn culture, a Kardashianworld of rapid-cycling, disposable narrative where reality-show triumph is the new American narcotic.
