Hollywood novel : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hollywood novel
A Hollywood novel is a novel that takes the Southern California motion picture industry as its setting and often its subject. Examples of Hollywood novels include ''The Day of the Locust'' by Nathanael West, ''What Makes Sammy Run'' by Budd Schulberg, ''The Last Tycoon'' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, ''After Many A Summer Dies the Swan'' by Aldous Huxley, ''Inside Daisy Clover'' by Gavin Lambert, ''The Deer Park'' by Norman Mailer, ''I Should Have Stayed Home'' by Horace McCoy, Michael Tolkin's ''The Player'' and ''The Return of the Player'', and Joan Didion's ''Play It As It Lays''. Novels set in Los Angeles but not primarily about the movie business and its effect on movie people and the public are not properly called Hollywood novels. ==Background and Perception of Hollywood Novels==
Many novelists such as William Faulkner and F. Scott Fitzgerald took jobs writing screenplays in Hollywood since they made more money. But many novelists such as them soon felt the film industry made them so miserable, and wrote novels detailing fictionalized versions of their experiences. Often some of these novels would revolve around some bitter screenwriter or producer who believed they were screwed over by some studio executive. And these same novels often took place during the Golden Age of Hollywood in the 1930s-1940's.
