Popcorn (Paperback, New Ed)

Ben Elton is a famous English stand-up comedian and playwright. This, his third novel, is a moral tale set in Hollywood, written with the cold eye and pen of Swift, with the oratorical anger of Tom Paine or Daniel Defoe. In the finest tradition of English satirical novels, Popcorn manages also to be engrossing, funny, and peopled with characters all too real. Bruce Delamitri is an Oliver Stone/Quentin Tarantino-type filmmaker held captive by some extraordinarily unsavoury admirers, and, in a denouement characteristic of the 90s, there are no easy answers. But the journey raises plenty of issues while providing some aghast laughter en route, as Elton proves he is no bleeding heart liberal. (Kirkus UK)

Bruce shoots movies. Wayne and Scout shoot to kill. In a single night they find out the hard way what's real and what's not, who's the hero and who's the villain. The USA watches slack-jawed as Bruce and Wayne together resolve some serious questions. Does Bruce use erection cream? Does art imitate life or does life simply imitate bad art? And most of all, does sugar-pie really love his honeybun?
