Hollywood

Author's name: Charles Bukowski Publisher: Miskaliani Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2017 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: This phrase summarizes the stance of the American lowland writer Charles Bukowski towards the money and fame world class represented by its ultimate model (Hollywood). In this eternal land, Bukowski lands us to tell us about the story of the fight between cinema and literature, money and fame. A story of screenplay writing involved in accepting it, pushing us into the world of filmmaking, which we consider a empty, stupid world with dull people, money falling from the sky on them, and they make films through which they become rich and stars. With these ideas that we all carry, Bukowski also entered Hollywood angry at its people mocking them. And the writer's sarcasm begins as he roams the overly clean streets of Hollywood with overly luxurious names, and meets the crew members who will negotiate with him over the screenplay of the film (The Barfly) or (The Bar Customer). Thus, the homeless, impoverished writer suddenly jumps to the top layers of American society, sitting with those smooth faces he used to see from afar through screens or in art newspapers and magazines. "We came to take the laundry." This is the phrase he said in his first confrontation with those delicate velvet creatures who opened the door for him. And he left Hollywood, exposing its laundry to the public.
