Description

Step into the chaotic and often absurd world of filmmaking with this darkly humorous novel. The story follows a down-on-his-luck screenwriter as he navigates the treacherous waters of Hollywood, battling greed and the industry's relentless pursuit of profit to get his story told. Through Bukowski's signature raw and unflinching prose, the novel offers a searing, yet often comical, examination of the human condition, particularly within the glittering, yet hollow, facade of the movie business. It's a quintessential Bukowski experience, delving into the underbelly of ambition and the often-unseen struggles behind the silver screen.
