«Crepúsculo en Bizancio» is Irwin Shaw's novel published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Set at the Cannes Film Festival, the novel portrays a carnival of characters seeking fame or trying to hold on to it: fading stars, anonymous aspirants, honest people and opportunists. Shaw uses the festival's atmosphere of appearances and chaos to speak about rise and decline in the world of cinema.
The novel's original title is «Evening in Byzantium» (1973); this Spanish edition was published in 1993 as no. 203 of the «Cuadernos Ratita Sabia» collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the film world and characters seeking fame.
Irwin Shaw was an American playwright, screenwriter, novelist, and short-story author whose written works have sold more than 14 million copies.
