Close-Up (häftad, eng)

''Stylish and stimulating'' The Times

Ageing Hollywood star Marshall Stone is scared. Scared that the parts are drying up. Scared of being forgotten. So when he hears an eminent author is writing his biography, Stone siezes the chance of immortalityBut painful memories and suppressed scandals soon threaten to destroy the carefully-constructed fiction of his life. Inspired by Len Deighton''s own experiences of the film industry, Close-Up is a brilliant exposé of the sleaze, venality and betrayals of the studio machine.

''The richness, the sardonic humour, the wheeling and dealing ..the power of the book is undoubted'' Evening Standard
