«Hollywood» is the novel by Charles Bukowski published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Henry Chinaski, Bukowski's alter ego, reluctantly agrees to write the screenplay for a film based on his youthful stories for an eccentric film director. The narrative follows the ups and downs of the shoot and portrays with a sarcastic and acidic eye the inner workings of the Hollywood industry: producers, executives, aspiring artists and journalists who swarm around the project.
The novel belongs to Anagrama's Compactos collection, number 96, and includes the translation by Cecilia Ceriani. The plot is inspired by the filming of the film Barfly, directed by Barbet Schroeder.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and for those familiar with Bukowski's literary universe and his character Henry Chinaski.
Henry Charles Bukowski was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his adopted home city of Los Angeles. Bukowski's work addresses the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women, and the drudgery of work.
