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?
