Items related to Karoo (French Edition)
Saul Karoo is a successful Hollywood script doctor, a fixer of flawed films. He is fifty, overweight, a heavy drinker and chain smoker. He is at an age when things break down, but he has no health insurance. His separation from his wife, Dianah, has become another form of marriage. His relationship with his son, Billy, a college student, is one of pure avoidance. He cannot free himself from the grip of the powerful producer Jay Cromwell. The unnecessary scenes that he has effortlessly cut from other people's screenplays seem to threaten his own life. But Saul Karoo is the ultimate fixer. He must find an emotional and intellectual solution - one that may in the end prove more deadly than the problems it was intended to solve.

About the Author:
Steve Tesich (1942-1996), écrivain, dramaturge et scénariste américain, est né en Yougoslavie. Il a notamment adapté pour le cinéma le roman Le Monde selon Garp de John Irving. Il a reçu en 1979 l’Oscar du meilleur scénario pour La Bande des quatre (film réalisé par Peter Yates). Son premier roman, Price, est publié en 1982, et remporte un grand succès. Karoo est son second et dernier roman, achevé quelques jours avant sa mort brutale en 1996. Il est considéré comme un chef-d’œuvre dès sa parution posthume en 1998.
Review:
"Tesich creates a memorable monster.... His writing is, as usual, enticing, sharp, and observant....Not to be missed."
