The Last Living Slut: Born in Iran, Bred Backstage

The Last Living Slut is the salaciously literary and sexually liberated memoir about Roxana Shirazi’s evolution from traditional Iranian to rock groupie.

“Makes Pamela Des Barres’ I’m With the Band read like a nun’s diary in comparison. . . . The most gripping real-life account of female depravity we’ve ever read.” —New York Times–bestselling authors Neil Strauss and Anthony Bozza, from their Introduction

Born in Tehran and raised within the strictures of Muslim religious culture, Roxana Shirazi’s life changed when her family immigrated to London, fleeing the Iranian Revolution. Thrust into an uptight environment where she was racially bullied, she found refuge in the sounds of hard rock and heavy metal, becoming obsessed with living the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle that the music celebrated.

When not pursuing her Masters degree in English, Roxana was attending rock concerts, pursuing her favorite musicians and exploring her voracious sexuality. Partying with members of Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Velvet Revolver, and other bands past their 80s hair metal prime, she pushed herself and her rock star conquests to sexual extremes.

“Raw and real” (Orlando Sentinel), The Last Living Slut is a passionate tale of jilted love, brutal revenge, and backstage encounters from a woman who rocked harder than most metalheads—and their guitar slinging heroes—would have ever dared.
