What is Film Flam : Essays on Hollywood about?

<p>A noted screenwriter himself, Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry knows his Hollywood. In <i>Film Flam,</i> he takes a funny, original, and penetrating look at the movie industry and gives us the truth about the moguls, fads, flops, and box-office hits.</p> <p>With successful movies and television miniseries made from several of his novels — <i>Terms of Endearment, The Last Picture Show, Lonesome Dove,</i> and <i>Hud</i> — McMurtry writes with an outsider's irony of the industry and an insider's experience. In these essays he illuminates the plight of the screenwriter, cuts a clean, often hilarious path through the excesses of film reviewing, and takes on some of the worst trends in the industry: the decline of the Western, the disappearance of love in the movies, and the quality of the stars themselves.</p> <p> From his recollections of the day Hollywood entered McMurtry's own life as he ate meat loaf in Fort Worth to the pleasures he found in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, <i>Film Flam</i> is one of the best books ever written about Hollywood.</p> <p>Flim Flam is Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry's funny and penetrating look at the movie industry. </
