Very Good condition, showing little signs of wear. Dust jacket: Good. Book summaryThe divide between fact and fiction blurs in this gossipy Hollywood memoir that includes a large cast of characters from Hollywood, Washington, D.C., and Arkansas--as well as one invented, unreliable narrator named Willard. Screenwriter Eszterhas wrote the films BASIC INSTINCT and SHOWGIRLS.Media Reviews"[A] sort of riff, a diatribe of first-person speculation, multiple voice regurgitation of everything you've already heard, no longer care about and are quite rightly disgusted by: Monicagate....An exploration of the underbelly of our national sexual psychosis..." -- Lynda R. Obst, Los Angeles Times Book Review "The whole book is scabrous, grotesque, beyond the pale....Much of the narrative that Eszterhas has assembled is brilliantly plausible and some of the connections...are exhilarating in their audacity." -- David Edelstein, Washington Post Book World "Eszterhas found himself consumed by the need to make sense of it all, his only recourse was a fact-based, ranting, rocking-and-rolling screed with none of the full-frontal scissored out....There are two or three chapters that rise above this, however, and that illustrate Eszterhas's hit-or-miss talent. He has acquired a real feeling for...Monica Lewinsky....He fashions a near-brilliant evocation of the qualities of Vernon Jordan....And he is extremely funny about the shrink defenses that the first lady and other amateurs have proposed." -- Christopher Hitchens, New York Times Book Review First LineMy friend Jann Wenner, the editor and publisher of Rolling Stone, the rock and roll bible, called me excitedly the day after Bill Clinton was nominated for the presidency. He had spent the previous night at a party, celebrating with Clinton. "He's one of us," Jann said. "He'll be the first rock and roll president in American history." Publisher NotesFictional passages combine with personal commentary and show business gossip to offer a unique take on Bill Clinton's relations with women and the Monica Lewinsky saga.
