I am delighted to announce that my book Last Night at the Viper Room: River Phoenix and the Hollywood He Left Behind is out in paperback today. So if you’ve been waiting for a bathtub-friendly copy, your time has come. I haven’t posted much about it lately, so may I remind you of a few favorite reviews? The Associated Press said “Edwards’ sensitive biography builds just the right tone for looking back at Phoenix’s life 20 years after his death: respect for his talents, admiration for his individuality and a subtle indignation for the tragedy to come.” USA Today described it as “insightful,” while the LA Weekly called it “enormously compelling.” The Vulture website said “it beautifully captures the weird Zeitgeist of the eighties and early nineties in a way that will remind those of us who were growing up at the time of not only River Phoenix, but also of ourselves at a younger age.”

Buy a copy for yourself, buy a copy for a friend! You can get it at Barnes & Noble, Powell’s, Amazon, or your local bookstore.
