The Hollywood Trilogy: A Couple of Comedians, The True Story of Jody McKeegan, and Turnaround

Don Carpenter wrote about Hollywood like no one else. Hollywood Trilogy collects, for the first time, Carpenter’s most significant Hollywood novels–A Couple of Comedians, The Turnaround and The True Life Story of Jody McKeegan–into a single volume. Here readers will find the jungle of B movie Hollywood with no attempt to dress up the rawness and vulgarity of this glamorous town. Carpenter’s characters occupy every facet of Hollywood–there are naive and shy young men trying to break into the business, one-picture wonders, comedy duos, beautiful starlets and middle-aged moguls wondering how exactly they got where they are.
