Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Book Club Edition. The story-Eli Kazan's most personal passionate, and moving work-swirls through a wealth of environments: the Broadway stage, a mind-blown safari in East Africa, a Hollywood film studio, the garment industry, a Beverly Hills luxury hotel, a closing-night cast party in Boston, New York's underworld, the TV industry, Florida's new gold coast. Kazan enhanced the meaning of "arrangement" to encompass the sexual accommodations most people live by and lie about. The true love story of this book is one that will give the word "understudy" a new meaning. Because so many of the characters are out of the world of theater and film, some people may be tempted to wonder who they might be based on. Here is Kazan's answer: A Confession All but one of the characters in this book, the women as much as the men, are drawn from a living person. Myself. In the case of the narrator, Sonny, my old friends who remember that I was an actor for eight years will immediately recognize some of my less attractive aspects in this performer. In the case of the hotshot, young director, it's all to obvious where his arrogance and intolerance come from. The black policy man, who is in deep trouble, is more like me than anyone else I know, and Bernie, the hood who kills him, has the same bag of anxieties, and passion that I have known. I, too, alas, enjoy Les Prelude of Liszt. I am, of course, the Hollywood producer, Benesch; I used to hunch-cast, too. And Eddie Diamond, the film director, is a steal from the eager young fellow who made all those successful first films of mine. As for Jim, the white hunter, he is as controlled and correct under duress as I try to be, though being of British rather than Mediterranean origin, Jim succeeds more often than I do. As for the women, I am a bit of a narcissist, as you can tell from the photo on the back of the jacket, and was for one short period a cautious wastrel, which may account for Roberta. Heavenly Hilda is just as gullible and giving as I sometimes am, and dear Ellie with her excessive respect for law and order-ask anyone who knows me. Even the character Arthur, who is so present in the story though dead-I've always believed that I'd be killed by a U.S. Mail truck on a day when, in my habitual mental fog, I step off a city curb without looking. I can only hope, with you, that it won't happen to soon. So one and all, they are me, with the single exception of the most important character in the book, Sidney Schlossberg. He is plucked from a garland of friends whom I admire as much as I do Sidney, I wish I could say that he was me, but I can't because I am nowhere near that persuasive or funny, nor am I that grand. If I had to pick one person Sidney is most like, I'd say Clifford Odets, whom I loved as much as I love Sidney; I knew it when Cliff was alive but never knew how much till he was dead. So sue me.
