An editor at TIME with writing appearing in New York magazine, The Atlantic, Esquire, Out, and Grantland, Sam Lansky shares his harply funny and compulsively readable memoir, The Gilded Razor. By the age of seventeen, Sam Lansky was an all-star student with Ivy League aspirations in his final year at an elite New York City prep school. But a nasty addiction to prescription pills spiraled rapidly out of control, compounded by a string of reckless affairs with older men, leaving his bright future in jeopardy. The Gilded Razor is a coming-of-age story of searing honesty and lyricism that introduces a powerful new voice to the confessional genre.
