Representaion Concering 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.

«Una narrativa tremendamente veloz, que te atrapa aunque no quieras» (Ramón de España, El País).

«Un verdadero genio en su tratamiento irónico de la sociedad. Absolutamente nada escapa a su sarcasmo» (José Antonio Gurpegui, Abc).

«Su mejor pieza» (Félix Romeo Pescador, Diario 16).

Bukowski's take on making the movie Barfly with Mickey Rourke. Funny.

I finished listening to Ham on Rye by Bukowski and just jumped right into this one, a later one and not so great, but still pretty hilarious at times about his experience with Hollywood in the writing of the screenplay for and the making of Barfly:What will you do?""Oh, hell, I'll write a novel about writing the screenplay and making the movie.""What are you going to call it?""Hollywood.""Hollywood?""Yes. . ."The working class Bukowski almost predictably skewers pretentious Hollywood types ala

It starts as a prank, not to be taken seriously. But it gets better and better and by the time its closing to the end, some of the finest lines kick through.

I loved this book. See a lot of 'eh' reviews. Have no idea if it's my own involvement in film, writing and Los Angeles of the past that makes this tale a spark of real life. I believe it's the writing alone that does it.This is Bukowski as Bukowski, not 'Hank'.'Hollywood' was and still is a pleasure to read. A must have for any screen writer, rags to riches bum, alcoholic literary being, or the real reason to read Buk or Fante.. the Clean Line.It's the story of 'Barfly' (a Bukowski book) and the

Bukowski at his best! Chinaski, struggling against his misery with alcohol, presents his life to you as honest and dishonest as it might get. He was warned, long time ago, that if he drinks more alcohol, he dies. (Just like an extremely cold scientific fact).But there he is, drinking all the time and death just stops. Not making a move towards him. Chinaski's heart is roaring with nihilism, loss of authentic meaning in life and, not caring so much, he lived longer. He just needed Sarah to earn

Hmm, I wish I could give a 2.5 as a review. The dirty realism with which Bukowski's writes gets overbearingly simple at times, and as character John Galt says to Bukowski's alter ego Chinaski, 'Your stuff wil always sell. A child can read it.' It shows the degenerate side of Hollywood expertely, repelling, conceited, not at all glamorous. I will be reading more Bukowski, the book sparked the flame of interest within me, I'll give it that.

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
