Covers Hollywood, the literary infighting in New York and the gossip and anecdotes of an astonishing cast of characters. Wilson was working on this book when he died. However, he had left specific instructions to his publisher, Roger Strauss, that he "wanted his editor to correct and "clean up' his text." Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket which has a bit of wear at the spine extremities. Item #24238
