Available Copies Details Synopsis

F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nathanael West, Dorothy Parker, and Budd Schulberg exercised as much of an impact on Hollywood as it had on them during their respective screen-writing careers, Tom Cerasulo argues in Authors Out Here. Cerasulo explores the often tense relationship between these accomplished writers and the film industry in which they were immersed and finds that this marriage of talent and power was mutually beneficial if not always happy. Combining film studies with literary analysis, this alterative view of the creative negotiations between representative writers and the studio system advances our understanding of the meaning of authorship in the first half of the twentieth century.
