This film producer’s honest, hilarious behind-the-scenes memoir “details the planning, handholding and power games involved in making movies” (Publishers Weekly).
Art Linson has had a hand in producing some of the most unforgettable films of the past half-century — Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Untouchables, Fight Club — and has worked with some of America’s finest actors and directors. In what the Los Angeles Times calls “a breezy anatomy of ritual humiliation,” his memoir gives us a brutally honest, funny, and comprehensive tour through the horrors of Hollywood.
“Art Linson puts a film freak exactly where he or she wants to be: in the Fox screening room during the studio brass’s horrified first look at Fight Club… Linson gives readers a glimpse into a bizarre world where ‘It’s good’ is the absolute worst thing you can say about a movie.” — Entertainment Weekly
“A hoot.” — The Philadelphia Inquirer
Includes a new interview of Art Linson by Peter Biskind and the screenplay of the film version
