Don Carpenter - The Hollywood Trilogy

Būklė - puiki

Don Carpenter wrote about Hollywood like no one else. The Hollywood Trilogy collects, for the first time, Carpenter’s most significant Hollywood novels—A Couple of Comedians, Turnaround and The True Life Story of Jody McKeegan—into a single volume. Here readers will find the jungle of B-movie Hollywood with no attempt to dress up the rawness and vulgarity of this glamorous” town. Carpenter’s characters occupy every facet of Hollywood—there are naïve and shy young men trying to break into the business, one-picture wonders, comedy duos, beautiful starlets and middle-aged moguls wondering how exactly they got where they are. All are drawn with the wit, pace and above all, the authenticity that were Don Carpenter’s trademarks.
