Bukowski's alter ego, Henry Chinaski, returns, reveling 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-s bings of La La land. Hollywood is an irreverent roman à clef that serves up the beating heart of Hollywood with razor-sharp humor.
