A look at the 1970s exploitation film industry in Los Angeles, seen through the eyes of a man named Seymour. Seymour is a film editor and script writer, 27 years old, and an Iraqi Jew. His dream is to direct his own film and he gets that chance when one of his scripts, "Blood of the Virgin" is purchased and he is chosen to direct his vision. This book explores the making of the film, but also its effects on Seymour and his young family.

1 ⭐ This was about a man trying to become a film Director. The illustrations have a 70s feel to them which is when I believe this takes place, but right off the bat in the margins of the page you have porn illustrations. Then you have the characters in the bathroom having this conversation and just it was an immediate turn off for me. I have no desire to turn any more pages to read anything more of this book than the first page.

This is a great read if you enjoy Hollywood politics & business & scriptwriting. In my literary HOF.

I love these books. They‘re so sweet. And they get me in very real feels. Super light and lovely, just the ticket if you‘re in the mood for such a thing. Forgot to screenshot the cover, sadly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Four more books I‘ve finished so far this month.

+20 for non-theme reads

I totally needed something easy, breezy after Notes on a Crocodile and this was totally it. Esther, an aerospace engineer, promises to help the neighbor she hates, Jonathan, with the science aspect of his screenplay as long as he takes her best friend out to keep her bf‘s ex off her mind. Esther who has trouble letting people in is shocked of course when she realizes how much Jonathan starts to mean to her. A great palette cleanser.
