Synopsis "Hollywood"

From iconic tortured artist/everyman Charles Bukowski, Hollywood is the fictionalization of his experience adapting his novel Barfly into a movie by the same name.Henry Chinaski, Bukowski's alter-ego, is pushed to translate a semi-autobiographical book into a screenplay for John Pinchot. He reluctantly agrees, and is thrust into the otherworld called Hollywood, with its parade of eccentric and maddening characters: producers, artists, actors and actresses, film executives and journalists. In this world, the artistry of books and film is lost to the dollar, and Chinaski struggles to keep his footing in the tangle of cons that comprise movie making.Hollywood is Dirty Old Man Bukowski at his most lucid. It overflows with curses, sex, and alcohol. And through it all, or from it all, Bukowski finds flashes of truth about the human condition.

Heinrich Karl Bukowski (Andernach, Alemania, 16 de agosto de 1920-San Pedro, Los Ángeles, 9 de marzo de 1994), conocido como (Henry) Charles Bukowski, fue un escritor de relatos, novelista y poeta estadounidense nacido en Alemania, representante del realismo sucio y considerado como un «poeta maldito», debido a su excesivo alcoholismo, pobreza y bohemia.

La obra literaria de Bukowski está fuertemente influida por la atmósfera de la ciudad de Los Ángeles, donde pasó la mayor parte de su vida. Hoy en día es considerado uno de los escritores más influyentes de la literatura estadounidense y uno de los símbolos del «realismo sucio» y de la literatura independiente.

Bukowski escribió libros de diversos géneros, tales como: diarios, relatos, novelas, poesías, ensayos e incluso llegó a escribir Barfly, un guion cinematográfico basado en su alter ego Henry Chinaski, dirigida por el cineasta francés Barbet Schroeder, película en donde realizó un cameo en un bar. Esta experiencia la recopiló en un libro de relatos, Hollywood (1989).
