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>
