About this title

About the Author:

Richard Rayner, a frequent contributor to Granta, the New York Times Magazine, and other publications, lives in Los Angeles.

From Library Journal:

When Richard, a London writer, meets a California blonde in a bar in Crete, he deserts his job and girlfriend and hops a plane to Los Angeles. There he sinks his lust in successful pursuit of the inconstant Barbara. The usual wacky assortment of Hollywood stereotypes await Richard in the New World, forcing their perversities on him despite his inability to drive. Even Jack Nicholson and Hugh Hefner make special guest appearances. In this trite portrait of Los Angeles, characters are crudely drawn and the narrative is threadbare. That the author is himself English explains but does not justify the numerous historical, geographical, and social inaccuracies; poetic license is no excuse. Not recommended. Timothy L. Zindel, Hastings Coll. of the Law, San Francisco
