Ilustration As Books Hollywood
Henry Chinaski siempre ha estado en pie de guerra, sin bajar la guardia contra el «establishment» y sus infinitos tentáculos. Pero en Hollywood no le será nada fácil: John Pinchot, un enloquecido director de cine, se empeña en llevar a la pantalla sus relatos de juventud, o sea la autobiografía de un alcohólico empedernido.Bukowski cuenta en este libro las experiencias de su álter ego Chinaski durante la filmación de la película Barfly, dirigida por Barbet Schroeder e interpretada por Mickey Rourke y Faye Dunaway. Una visión sarcástica, ácida y corrosiva de los entretelones de Hollywood en la que desfilan personajes curiosos y excéntricos: productores, escritorzuelos, artistas de todo lo imaginable, ejecutivos fantasma, periodistas... Un mundo duro donde todo gira al compás del sacrosanto dólar, que es paradójicamente, el único medio para realizar lo sueños más subversivos y las empresas más enloquecidas.

Funny.
Hollywood is a thinly-veiled first-person account of Charles Bukowski's encounter with the Hollywood film world during the writing, financing, casting, production, promotion, and premiere of Barfly. In a 1987 interview on a Barfly set with Roger Ebert, Bukowski briefly sets the scene leading up tp the the novel's opening:http://www.rogerebert.com/interviews/..."I picked up this phone one day and it was (Director Barbet) Schroeder calling from Paris. I'm drinking, I hung up. Never heard of him.
Ive been kind of saving this one because it was the only Bukowski novel that I hadnt read. But then I saw Paperback Junky on YouTube talking about Bukowski and it made me want to pick it up and tick it off.It was worth the wait. If youve read Bukowski before and youre familiar with his history then youll even be able to tie this book back to the events that it covers. Bukowski wrote the autobiographical screenplay for a movie called Barfly starring Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway, and this novel
I'm not sure when the average reader finds out that the book is a painfully obvious autobiography of Bukowski's life. But after looking at some of his other work, it's probably painful just to read that first sentence; most (a lot? all? I don't know) of Bukowski's work is autobiographical. The concept of this book is best done as a short story, and it really is - don't let the amount of pages fool you. It's a simple read with nothing of a poetic nature. It's as if you're reading a part of
Incredible book about an old mans look back on his unapologetic alcoholic life
