They Call Me Carpenter

Upton Sinclair's "They Call Me Carpenter" offers a scathing satire of early Hollywood and the burgeoning film industry. A sharp social commentary wrapped in a fictional narrative, the book lays bare the excesses and hypocrisies of the era. Sinclair, known for his unflinching portrayals of social injustice, turns his attention to the glamorous yet often morally bankrupt world of Los Angeles in its formative years as the entertainment capital.

This meticulously prepared edition brings Sinclair's historical fiction to a new audience. Delve into a world of ambition, illusion, and moral compromise, where dreams are manufactured and fortunes are won and lost with breathtaking speed. "They Call Me Carpenter" remains a relevant and insightful look at the power of media and the allure of fame. Its enduring appeal lies in its timeless depiction of human nature against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of Hollywood or the art of social satire.
