About This Book

The novel chronicles the meteoric rise of Sammy Glick, a ruthless copyboy who backstabs and cheats his way to the top of the Hollywood film industry. Narrated by Al Manheim, the story serves as a sharp critique of the aggressive ambition and moral vacuum of 1930s Hollywood culture.
