Don Carpenter

The Hollywood Trilogy (eBook, ePUB)

A Couple of Comedians, The True Story of Jody McKeegan, and Turnaround

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Don Carpenter wrote about Hollywood like no one else. Hollywood Trilogy collects, for the first time, Carpenter's most significant Hollywood novels-A Couple of Comedians, The 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. Following the Spring 2014 publication of Friday at Enrico's, Carpenter's "forgotten” novel, finished and championed by Jonathan Lethem, interest in Carpenter's work is at an all time high. Hollywood Trilogy will introduce readers to an entirely new facet of Carpenter's work, just waiting to be discovered by a contemporary audience.
