Henry Chinaski has always fought tooth and nail against the “establishment” and its infinite tentacles. But in Hollywood this is not going to be easy: John Pinchot, a crazed film director, has decided to embark on a project that will take the stories of his youth to the screen, to create an autobiography of a hardened alcoholic. This is the story of Bukoswski´s alter ego during the filming of Barfly, directed by Barbet Schroeder and starring Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway. A corrosive look at behind-the-scenes Hollywood; a tough world where everything revolves around the sacred dollar. / Henry Chinaski siempre ha estado en pie de guerra, sin bajar la guardia contra el establishment y sus infinitos tentáculos. Pero en Hollywood no le será nada fácil: John Pinchot, un enloquecido director de cine, se empeña en llevar a la pantalla sus relatos de juventud, o sea, la autobiografía de un alcohólico empedernido. Chinaski desconfía del proyecto, aunque acepta a regañadientes escribir el guión de la película. Y aquí comienzan los verdaderos problemas. Bukowski cuenta en este libro las experiencias de su álter ego Chinaski durante la filmación de la película Barfly, dirigida por Barbet Schroeder e interpretada por Mickey Rourke y Faye Dunaway. Una visión sarcástica, ácida y corrosiva de los entretelones de Hollywood, en la que desfilan personajes curiosos y excéntricos: productores, escritorzuelos, artistas de todo lo imaginable, ejecutivos fantasma, periodistas... Un mundo duro donde todo gira al compás del sacrosanto dólar, que es paradójicamente, el único medio para realizar lo sueños más subversivos y las empresas más enloquecidas.
