Title details for Hollywood by Gore Vidal - Available

Hollywood

by Gore Vidal
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Over a twenty-five period, Gore Vidal created a series of seven novels, which together are referred to as his American Chronicle novels. These novels capture American history in fiction in a way in which few writers have attempted, let alone succeeded. Hollywood is the sixth volume in the series. It is 1917, and President Woodrow Wilson is about to lead the country into the Great War in Europe. In California, a new industry is born that will irreversibly transform America. Caroline Sanford, the alluring heroine of Empire, discovers the power of moving pictures to manipulate reality as she vaults to screen stardom under the name of Emma Traxler. Just as Caroline must balance her two lives--West Coast movie star and East Coast newspaper publisher and senator's mistress--so too must America balance its two power centers: Hollywood and Washington. RosettaBooks is proud to publish four of Gore Vidal's American Chronicle novels: Burr, Lincoln, Empire and Hollywood.
