Veteran Hollywood entertainment mogul David Levy, creator and/or
originator of such shows as The Addams Family, Name That Tune,
Bonanza, and The Bob Newhart Show, knows the world of big business
better than anyone, and has seen the struggle for power that breaks
and makes careers in the blink of an eye.
A former presidential speech writer, producer for CBS, and
programmer for NBC, Levy deftly pulls back the curtain on seedy,
cutthroat corporate America in Executive Jungle, an
autobiographical novel of interrelated stories about a Madison
Avenue advertising agency. It centers on the figures who struggle
to get to the top of the Otis & Meade agency, run stealthily
yet firmly by aging chief James Hornwell. Motivated by their own
insatiable greed and need for recognition Hornwell's shining stars
find themselves in an endless struggle for survival, battling
friends, enemies, and even themselves, while forming alliances that
will end in honor or dishonor.
Sure to raise an eyebrow or two in the Hollywood and New York
scenes, the ten suspenseful, spicy, and revealing segments that
form this novel offer a fictionalized who's-who of powerbrokers
network presidents, producers, writers, and executives populating
the business for forty years.
