Charles Bukowski
From iconic tortured artist/everyman Charles Bukowski, Hollywood is the fictionalization of his experience adapting his novel Barfly into a movie by the same name.
Henry Chinaski, Bukowski’s alter-ego, is pushed to translate a semi-autobiographical book into a screenplay for John Pinchot. 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.
Hollywood 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.

The plot is not really there, it's just flowing along, it is not as explicit and violent as Bukowski sometimes is. It is just filled with good dialogue, anecdotes that leave you hoping that they are real and likeable, sometimes pityful characters that make the feel of it so warm. Hollywood and its crazy ways are described from a somewhat unphased and rarely judging perspective, as I said filled with amusing and likable characters and their flaws and their stories.
I think it's my favourite work of his. The reading is beautifully executed as well. It says "performed by" in the beginning, and rightfully so. The French accents, the irony in some of the dialogue, the attidtude of the writer, he catches it all.
Big recommendation.
