Hollywood! A place that attracts millions who dream of fame and fortune. Their name in lights. Adoring fans crowding around them begging for an autograph. Besieged by paparazzi. Leisurely lunches at The Four Seasons. Mansions in Beverly Hills and the South of France. The Impersonators is the story of those who made it and those who didn't.

Produktbeschreibung
Hollywood! A place that attracts millions who dream of fame and fortune. Their name in lights. Adoring fans crowding around them begging for an autograph. Besieged by paparazzi. Leisurely lunches at The Four Seasons. Mansions in Beverly Hills and the South of France. The Impersonators is the story of those who made it and those who didn't. Their stories are fiction, like the lives they leave. Like the movies they watch. Yet, the novel gives an honest insider's look at Hollywood. And into the real lives of the real people in Los Angeles, America's second largest city. A tapestry of skin colors and exotic languages and religions and lifestyles. Of Sunday afternoons on sandy beaches and hikes in her mountains. A sort of Lost Angeles for others. Those who submit to the allure of the drug dealers. The suffering. Those homeless who huddle in the shadows of the VA center on Wilshire or gather around smokey campfires along the Los Angeles River and panhandle on freeway ramps. This is their story. Of their broken dreams. Their shattered lives under the sunny skies of southern California.

Autorenporträt
Mark McLane spends most of his time in a classroom somewhere, either standing behind a desk or sitting in front of one, and like most English teachers, dreams of someday having the time and energy to put into practice what he teaches to others. And so that time came, culminating in The Impersonators, based on his experiences as a struggling actor and stand-up comedian who paid the bills by teaching orthodox Jewish young men at a yeshiva in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles and working as an associate for a Hollywood talent manager. Mr. McLane lives in Brookville, a small village in rural southern Indiana, where he teaches composition at a local community college and when he has the time and energy, continues to write.
