He reluctantly agrees, and is thrust into the otherworld called Hollywood, with its parade of eccentric and maddening characters: producers, artists, actors and actresses, film executives and journalists. In this world, the artistry of books and film is lost to the dollar, and Chinaski struggles to keep his footing in the tangle of cons that comprise movie making.</p><p><em>Hollywood</em> is Dirty Old Man Bukowski at his most lucid. It overflows with curses, sex, and alcohol. And through it all, or from it all, Bukowski finds flashes of truth about the human condition. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Hank and his wife, Sarah, agree to write a screenplay, and encounter the strange world of the movie industry. </p>
