Hollywood

`What will you do?`
`Oh, hell, I`ll write a novel about writing the screenplay and making the movie.`
`What are you going to call it?`
`Hollywood.`

Henry Chinaski has a penchant for booze, women and horse-racing. On his precarious journey from poet to screenwriter... he encounters a host of well-known stars and lays bare the absurdity and egotism of the film industry. Poetic, sharp and dangerous, Hollywood - Bukowski`s fictionalization of his experiences making the film Barfly - explores the many dark shadows to be found in the neon-soaked glare of Hollywood`s limelight.
