Description
Hollywood is a novel that explores the darker side of the film industry. Written by Charles Bukowski, it's a fictionalisation of his experiences making the film Barfly.
The book follows Henry Chinaski as he navigates the absurdity and egotism of Hollywood's limelight. With his penchant for booze, women, and horse-racing, Chinaski encounters a host of well-known stars and lays bare the harsh realities of the industry.
Through poetic and sharp prose, Bukowski exposes the dark shadows that lurk beneath the glamour of Hollywood's neon-soaked world. A raw and unflinching portrayal of life in the spotlight, Hollywood is a gripping and thought-provoking read.
