***If you or anyone you know has struggled with alcohol, drug, or sex addiction, you must read this!
2011 Breakout Novel -- Destined to reach the silver screen, this fast-paced first novel by Ryan Winfield is much more than a Hollywood hit; it's a gut-wrenching and ultimately uplifting story that grabs you from the first line and won't let go. With more twists than California's Highway 1, the intimate narrative follows a young man on a wild month-long ride to the dizzying, drunken heights of Napa Valley excess, where he falls fast for his new boss's intoxicating wife, only to be drawn into a secret world of sex and power as his lust for success drags him down through a phantasmagoria of hedonistic hell. "Shocking and unapologetic." "Fast, poetic prose loaded with images." "...a Gatsbyesque story for our Recessionary times." South of Bixby Bridge is a heartfelt journey of self-discovery--the story of a young man who thinks he has nowhere to go but up, until he discovers that sometimes the "bottom" is just the beginning.With gripping drama, witty dialogue, and sexy, jaw-dropping glimpses into the underworld of California's über-rich, you won't be able to put this riveting new novel down. Buckle up and enjoy the read! Fresh out of drug rehab.
A young unemployed stockbroker, alone.
Struggling to survive the holidays on the San Francisco streets.
He wants his life back, he wants his girlfriend back.
Then his luck turns when he runs into just the right man--
A charming, sadistic hedge-fund owner with an intoxicating wife.
Success, money, a second chance . . .
But sometimes second chances come with a price.
Sometimes the price is your soul.
Warning: This novel is an unfiltered account of a young man's struggle to overcome addictions and it includes some graphic language, descriptive sexual scenes, and adult situations.
[★★★★★ A review from Stewart Stern, the Emmy award winning screenwriter of " Sybil" and " Rebel Without a Cause." ]
"Ryan Winfield has been preparing himself all his life to produce the wonder to which this first novel ascends. It is a glorious debut for an artist who has never stopped inhaling all he sees or feels empathically for others during his own long climb out of the dark. He obeys Goya's caution that to be able to draw a man plunging off a roof the artist must complete the drawing before the jumper hits the ground and that requires thousands of practice drawings and the willingness to 'fall with the man all the way.'
In South of Bixby Bridge Ryan 'falls with the man' and both, thank God, get unstuck from the pavement and live to tell the tale. As one of Ryan's many friends and teachers I commend - without reservation and to every one who reads or wants to write - this moving, funny, sexy, infinitely human book."
--Stewart Stern, Screenwriter "Rebel Without a Cause"
