From back-
The most brilliant and audaciously sardonic novel ever written in America -the follies, quirks and lunacies of the whole nation as reflected in the cracked mirror of Hollywood, U.S.A.
When first published, in 1939. It was attacked as having been written with the deliberate intent of inducing profound and purposeless shock for its readers.
It is now recognized as not only the finest novel to come out of Hollywood, but one of the best of all modern American novels.
Its theme and parable are universal, its satire scorching, its humanity immense -a brilliant, scathing, altogether unforgettable book.
Pages unmarked, some tanning at edges. Cover has some creasing and chipping, and rubbing.
