"A fabulously twisted journey of self discovery, but inside the visual extravaganza there beats a dark, human heart - Glitterati is a many-hued delight." ? Aliya Whiteley, award-winning author of The Beauty and The Loosening Skin"Glitterati is a strange, bright wonder of a book that begins as a playful satirization of the world of couture and ends as a finely-cut lens into the habits of the modern world."?Cassandra Khaw, author ofNothing But Blackened Teeth"Fabulous! A sensory powder keg of a book that bursts with wit, poise and oh-so cutting-edge style. Literary but feather-light, this is the most elegant and charming thing you?ll read all year. It had me grinning from ear to ear the whole way through." ? Josh Winning, author of The Shadow Glass"Glitterati promises to be your new obsession... a world of fashion, backstabbing, baubles, and ice cream, in which compulsive, light-as-air storytelling hints and teases at the seriously dark dystopia behind it all. I absolutely loved this book." ? Ally Wilkes, author of All the White Spaces"A scintillating dive into Langmead's kaleidoscopic imagination." ? Stark Holborn, author of Ten Low"High fashion meets dark satire in this hilarious dystopia of manners. As heart-warming as it is razor-sharp. I laughed so hard I spat out my Dom Perignon ? read it before everyone else does!'' ? J. L Worrad, author of Pennyblade Oliver K. Langmead is an author and a poet based in Glasgow.
