Zachary Lazar — Sway: A Novel (Little Brown, 2008).

A narrative wherein early Rolling Stones ca. Brian Jones till he gets booted from the band and drowns in a swimming pool while Anita P. runs with Keith and Mick learns how to sing and strut meets up with a middle-aged Kenneth Anger of cult films Scorpio Rising and Kustom Kar Kommandos (among many) notoriety who in turn is wanting to cast a young pre-Charlie Manson Bobby Beausoleil in Lucifer. Dark, at times funny, and remarkable that many of the real-life characters are still alive after imbibing that many drugs.
