Chinaski elu on just rahulikku rööpasse saanud, kirjutamine, tore naine ja hipodroom sisustavad kenasti ta päevi. Siis aga helistab filmirezissöör Jon Pinchot ja teeb ettepaneku kirjutada stsenaarium. Selle afääriga nõustumine tõmbab Hanki tema jaoks täiesti uude maailma, seiklusse, millega kaasneb kolimine, uus auto, väga palju sekeldusi ja veidraid filmiinimesi.

Hollywood on irooniline pilguheit Hollywoodi võlumaailma, selle narridele ja narrikestele. Nagu Bukowski romaanid enamasti, põhineb see loomulikult reaalsetel sündmustel ja isikutel autori elust: film, mille tegemisest raamatus juttu, Baarikärbes, vändati aastal 1987, rezissööriks Barbet Schroeder ning peaosades Mickey Rourke ja Faye Dunaway.

Work Description

Bukowski's alter ego, Henry Chinaski, returns, revelling in his eternal penchant for booze, women and horse-racing as he makes the precarious journey from poet to screenwriter. Based on Bukowski's experiences when working on the film Barfly, the absurdity and egotism of the film industry are laid bare in this deadpan, touching and funny glimpse into the endless negotiations and back-stabbings of La-la land. Hollywood is an irreverent roman - clef that serves up the beating heart of Hollywood with razor-sharp humour.
