The “shrewd, entertainingly dark Hollywood novel” that inspired the award-winning Robert Altman film (The New York Times Book Review).

Hollywood insider Michael Tolkin perfectly skewers the movie-making business through the mind of Griffin Mill, senior vice president of production at a major Hollywood studio. Ruthlessly ambitious, Mill is driven to control the levers of America’s dream-making machinery. He listens to writers pitch him stories all day, sitting in judgment of their fantasies, their lives. But now one writer whose pitch he responded to so glibly is sending him mortally threatening postcards.

Squeezed between the threat to his life and the threat to his job, Mill’s deliberate and horrifying response spins him into a nightmare. Then he meets the sad and beautiful June Mercator and his obsession for her threatens to destroy them both.

“One of the most wounding and satirical of all Hollywood exposes. ” —Los Angeles Times

“In its wry, acerbic description of life behind the studio gates Tolkin’s book recalls F. Scott Fitzgerald … and the vengeful comedy of Nathaniel West’s The Day of the Locust. ” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
