Hollywood

`No other book gets as close to the corrupt heart of American movie-making.`  GUARDIANThere are many scandalous books about life in Hollywood, but none aspoetic and dangerosu as this, a fictional chronicle of Bukowski`s experiences writing the screenplay for Barfly. Henry Chinaski has a penchant for booze, women and horse-racing. On his precarius journey from poet to screenwriter he encounters a host of well-known stars and lays bare the absurdity and egotism of the film industry. With unmatchable Bukowski verve, Hollywood is deadpan, touching and hilarius.

`The thing about Bukowski is. when you read what he has to say, he`s right.`  SEAN PENN

`Full of entertaining vignettes of celebrities.` THE TİMES

`Bukowski`s voice is insistent and affirming but it also has the  humble durability of someone who won`t stay down... His stories help keep people alive.` INDEPENDENT
