McMurtry, Larry Somebody's Darling Pocket September 1, 19 Paperback used: very good Pulitzer Prize-winning Larry McMurtry writes like no one else about the American frontier. In Somebody's Darling, the frontier lies farther west, i n Hollywood, where his subject is the strange world of the movies -- those who make them and those who play in them. Somebody's Darling is the story of the fortunes of Jill Peel. Jill is brill iant, talented, and disciplined, and one of the best female directors in Ti nseltown, or anywhere else. She's got it all together, except where the men in her life are concerned: Joe Percy and Owen Oarson. Joe is a womanizing, aging screenwriter, cheerfully cynical about life, love, and art and the p ursuit of all three. But he'd rather be left alone with the young, oversexe d wives of studio moguls. Owen is an ex-Texas football player and tractor s alesman turned studio climber and sexual athlete. He'll climb from bed to b ed in pursuit of his starry goal: to be a movie producer. Between the two o f them and a cast of Hollywood's most unforgettable eccentrics, Jill Peel t ries to create some movie magic. Full of all the grit and warmth of his best work, Somebody's Darling is Larry McMurtry's deft and raunchy romp behind the scenes of America's own unique Babel: Hollywood. Price: 3.50 USD
McMurtry, Larry The Desert Rose Simon & Schuster April 15, 1987 Trade Size Pap used: very good Harmony is a fading flower. When she arrived in Vegas 20 years ago, she was just 17 and had "...the best legs in town...maybe the best bust!" But now she's 39 and all that's left are memories, pet peacocks and a cancelled Vis a. But in a falling down life, Harmony herself is a triumph--an unabashed romantic who sees the silver lining in every cloud. She finds life a joy, thus brings joy into the lives she touches.
