Tinsel (novel)
''Tinsel'' is a 1979 novel written by William Goldman. It was the third of a four book deal he had with Delacorte Press after ''Marathon Man'' and ''Magic''. He called it "my Hollywood novel". He began writing it on April Fools' Day 1978 and finished it five months' later.〔'BEHIND THE BEST SELLERS: WILLIAM GOLDMAN', By Judy Klemesrud. ''New York Times'' (1923-Current file) (York, N.Y ) 16 Sep 1979: BR11.〕
Goldman says he was motivated to write it to explore the treatment of women in Hollywood:
There are a couple of basic truths about this town. One is that nobody knows anything about what will work. It's all a search for past magic. Those who can no longer produce it are useless. The other truth is that everyone in the movie community is searching for heat. John Travolta was the hottest thing ever-ever; only Dustin Hoffman after ''The Graduate'' and ''Midnight Cowboy'' was comparable. Then Travolta made a movie with Lily Tomlin (''Moment to Moment'') and where were his fans? Farrah Fawcett is a year from game shows. This is why we're all so nervous. There's no carry over of affection. It's why nobody can cut their price. You're worth a million dollars or you're unemployed. That's what happened to Elizabeth Taylor and what I wanted to tell in ''Tinsel''. What happens to the women of Hollywood?〔'GOLDMAN: MOVIE INDUSTRY'S DEPENDABLE 'GUN FOR HIRE' ' Rosenfield, Paul. ''Los Angeles Times'' (1923-Current File) (Angeles, Calif ) 02 Sep 1979: m28.〕
==Reception==
Larry McMurtry reviewing the book for the ''New York Times'' said "Mr Goldman never gets beneath the stereotypes".〔'Three Novels: Novels', By LARRY McMURTRY. ''New York Times'' (1923-Current file) (York, N.Y ) 26 Aug 1979: 260.〕
