Based on interviews with key Hollywood players, this is the story of creativity and excess in Hollywood at the time. |
| Synopsis: |
One of the most exhilarating periods in film history began with Dennis Hopper's groundbreaking "Easy Rider" in 1969 and ended with Scorsese's masterpiece "Raging Bull" in 1980, with Beverly Hills shrouded under a blanket of cocaine: at least, that's how it seemed. Based on interviews with all the Hollywood players of the time, this is the story of creativity and excess in Hollywood, when Coppola, Bogdanovich, Scorsese, Lucas, Hopper, Altman and Spielberg were at the height of their powers. Recounted with refreshing candour, those involved talk about their rise to glory and the sex, drugs and money that made so many of them crash and burn. |

Between the Assassinations
Nestling on India's southern coast lies the town of Kittur. Ranging through the city's streets and schoolyards, bedrooms and businesses, its inner workings and its outer limits, through the myriad and distinctive voices of its inhabitants, this book presents an entire world. From the author of 'The White Tiger'.

So Much for That
The extraordinary new novel from the Orange Prize winning author of 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'. 'So Much For That' is a deeply affecting novel, told with Lionel Shriver's trademark originality, intelligence and acute perception of the human condition.
|
White Egrets
A collection of poems that treats such subjects as - the Caribbean's complex colonial legacy, the Western artistic tradition, the blessings and withholdings of old Europe (Andalucia, the Mezzogiorno, Amsterdam), the unaccomodating sublime of the new world, time's cunning passages, and the poet's place in all of this.
