Hollywood Novels
Over at Newsday, I have a list of great Hollywood novels–one of my favorite literary genres. The painful part was choosing only five. Here they are.
Other contenders include:
Valley of the Dolls, Jacqueline Susann
The Last Tycoon, F. Scott Fitzgerald (also the Pat Hobby stories)
The Goodbye People, Gavin Lambert
What Makes Sammy Run, Budd Schulberg
After Many a Summer Dies the Swan, Aldous Huxley
I’m Still Holding, I’m Losing You, and I’ll Let You Go, Bruce Wagner
Prater Violet, Christopher Isherwood
The Loved One, Evelyn Waugh
