I'm Losing You)
At age thirteen, Telma is famous as the world’s youngest breast cancer survivor until threatened with obscurity by a four-year-old Canadian who’s just undergone a mastectomy … Reeyonna believes that auditioning for pregnant-teen porn online will help fulfill her dream of befriending Jennifer Lawrence and Kanye West … Biggie, the neurologically impaired adolescent son of a billionaire, spends his days Google Map-searching his mother-who abandoned home and family for a new love … Jacquie, a photographer once celebrated for taking arty nudes of her young daughter, is broke and working at Sears Family Portrait Boutique … Tom-Tom, a singer/drug dealer thrown off the third season of
for concocting a hard-luck story, is hell-bent on creating her own TV series in the Hollywood Hills, peopled by other reality-show losers … Jerzy, her sometime lover, is a speed-freak paparazzo who “specializes” in capturing images of dying movie and television stars … And Oscar-winning Michael Douglas searches for meaning in his time of remission. While his wife, Catherine, guest-stars on
, the actor plans a bold, artistic, go-for-broke move: to star in and direct a remake of Bob Fosse’s There is nothing quite like a Bruce Wagner novel. His prose is captivating and exuberant, and surprises with profound truths on spirituality, human nature, and redemption.

CLEAN [Telma]

Hurt Boobies

Telma

just found out she was no longer the world’s youngest breast cancer survivor (now 13, she had a radical mastectomy at 9, beating out Hannah Powell-Auslam who was diagnosed at age 10. They took the lymph nodes from under her arms too). Now here comes Mom saying there’s a 4-year-old somewhere in Canada as we speak wearing the crazy uncoveted laurel of youngest juvie breast carcinoma vic. The news left Telma a little at sea, lil Telma with her little big C, wondering if her demoted standing might affect the awesome amazing cornucopia of pink-tie charity events — the gala balls & schmancy fundraisers, the private lunches at the Hotel Bel-Air/Soho House/fijiwater teleflora Resnick chateau on Sunset — she was asked to participate in all year round in LA, and points north, south and east. She was actually famous.

The irony was, her mother had a lumpy tit for months and was herself worried sick she’d been god-gifted with C. Gwen was one of those tiresome people forever skittish and terrified by doctors; it took almost a year for her to go in. She of course got an assist from her shrink who with more than a nudge from her client had prepped Gwen for a lumpectomy at the very least, any kind of maybe-ectomy, but all the oncologist did was some draining. She brought Telma with her and at the last post-drama moment showed him the fleshy pea under her kid’s nipple. A week later, immediately after the unfathomable diagnosis, mother and daughter were sealed into the scarifying rip-snorting over-the-falls barrel of картинка 3break CancerWorld 2.0. A half-dozen shtarker moms helped Gwen survive her baby’s mastectomy (St. Ambrose Hosp/Westwood), for which she would be eternally damned/grateful.

(She can never forget: the hospital lobby had vitrines filled with a traveling exhibit of Barbie dolls.)

(The gal who created Barbie and Ken got breast cancer & patented a prosthetic called “Nearly Me.”)

Telma was conceived in vitro when Gwen was 44. Her husband froze his sperm before being zapped for prostate cancer; he succumbed, as they used to say, when his princess turned three, right on her birthday. If Gwen was old when she conceived, now she was fucking old, an old broad old enough to remember the bookstore days. The Sixties. She was what, 12ish? The Village, as they once called it, had a profusion of bookstores (can ya imagine?) & head shops too, with bongs and mushroom-lettered blacklight posters, the whole deal steeped in that sexysubversive patchouli smell imported from beyond — the foggy subversive motherlode of the Haight. In a sun-shadowed courtyard the girlpacks could buy huaraches/leather sandals (but never did) crafted onsite by a fabulous furry freak, fresh (seemingly) from the commune, or some commune or other, his adobified kittycorner wafting with that leather smell, biker leather smell (so the little girls they did guess) and when he got close to them and leered, they could subversively smell scary sexy bearded man smells, & triangulate from there. There was an on-campus bowling alley, wax and pine-smelling, where Gwen and her gradeschool peeps (they didn’t call it middleschool then) sometimes hung on weekends, instead of taking the 83 WILSHIRE or hitching to the beach. The blast of AC hit you right when you walked in, odor of foodcourt and future life, campus bookstore/indoor pool/bowlinglane sounds & smells, a grand and grandly sunlit subversive world: Gwen remembered thinking This is the smell of college, the smell of being grown-up, the mysterious alluring subversive smell of the end of carefree days. Her memories were saturated with the erotic energy unleashed by cliquish tween tribes venturing out on their own, testing wings with parental approval, the Village being a plaza that was considered safe for pubescent gazelles (back in the day when so many things were considered safe), their pairs upon perfect pair of rangy downy legs shod in magic markered Vans, perspiry hormone-blasted packs of flowerpower grrrls wearing chunky boyfriend I.D. bracelets (some of them) bought & engraved at P.O.P. on the pier, virgin wannabe wild childs out hunting and gathering for what they knew not.

Then her trips to Westwood became the stuff of nightmares. Gradually, with the brutal ardent fellowship of
