Hollywood Av Charles Bukowski

<p><i>'What will you do?'<br> 'Oh, hell, I'll write a novel about writing the screenplay and making the movie.'<br> 'What are you going to call it?'<br> 'Hollywood.'</i><br><br> Henry Chinaski has a penchant for booze, women and horse-racing. On his precarious journey from poet to screenwriter he encounters a host of well-known stars and lays bare the absurdity and egotism of the film industry. Poetic, sharp and dangerous, <i>Hollywood -</i> Bukowski's fictionalisation of his experiences making the film <i>Barfly - </i>explores the many dark shadows to be found in the neon-soaked glare of Hollywood's limelight.</p>
