Being a long-time admirer of Bukowski's work, and having read the Barfly screenplay and the movie several times, I was excited to read "Hollywood" both for simple enjoyment and for some additional insight into his experiences with the film crowd. There's adventure and drinking and crises throughout, and it's a quick read. Dive in. (  ) psybre | Apr 8, 2009 |  I read this book in a week, and i'm glad I got right through it because as much as I enjoy Bukowski's simple and direct prose, and his great analysis of the corrupt Hollywood system, his detachment from anything deeper than alcohol, sex, and horse racing can bring me down. I'm giving it a four stars as a book, because I think its so well written, not so much as how it effected me.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 843391426X, Paperback)John Pinchot, un enloquecido director de cine, se empena en llevar a la pantalla sus relatos de juventud, o sea, la autobiografia de un alcoholico empedernido. Chinaski desconfia del proyecto, aunque acepta a reganadientes escribir el guion de la pelicula. Y comienzan los verdaderos problemas. El autor cuenta las experiencias de su alter ego Chinaski durante la filmacion de la pelicula Barfly, interpretada por Mickey Rourke y Faye Dunaway. Una vision sarcastica, acida y corrosiva de los entretelones de Hollywood en la que desfilan personajes curiosos y excentricos. Un mundo duro donde todo gira alrededor del sacrosanto dolar.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:10 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
