Overview
A compelling novel-in-stories,Ā HollywoodskiĀ showcases a self-described āfadedā screenwriterās forty-year career.
Dale Davis is a man encumbered by a natural writing talent, corrupted by early success, and reduced to scrambling for crumbs. He arrives in Hollywood, unbattered and innocent, with a novel about his days as an almost Olympic-caliber swimmer. But his faith in the prevailing powers of talent and justice in Tinseltown leaves him essentially black-listed and unemployable, a talented writer who just canāt get paid. Despite the fading of a once-promising career, Davis still believes that his talent will propel him back into prominence. But that belief, in Hollywood, is about as realistic as the belief that āSomeday my prince will come,ā and as likely to make you depressed and crazy.
HollywoodskiĀ is a nonlinear journey through Davisās life, weaving his memories with stories heās written over the years, charting how his hopes and dreams have changed over time. Featuring stories originally published in prominent publications such asĀ The New England Review,Ā The Los Angeles Reader,Ā andĀ Six Three Whiskey,Ā HollywoodskiĀ is a sweeping and inventive telling of the strange avenues that a life follows.
