Continuing on in the tradition of Day of the Locust and What Makes Sammy Run, it's Hollywood in the 1970s, written by someone who was in the trenches of that debauched time. Wurlitzer wrote the infamous screenplay for Two-Lane Blacktop, and later Peckinpah's Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. This book is somewhat of a reflection of the Peckinpah experience, but also Hollywood itself. Parallel to that, is a deeply personal story of family and identity. Experimental and soulful at the same time, the writing has a haunting beauty that embodies the hazy feel of that time and place. A true lost classic!
