A Hollywood hack who has fallen on hard times since the end of the
Silent Era, Pat Hobby spends his time hanging out in the studio lot
attempting to devise schemes - such as pressing his secretary for
blackmail material against a studio executive - to get more work
and earn on-screen credits. Oblivious to his own shortcomings and
filled with feelings of self-importance, he embarks on a course
towards ever-increasing humiliation, suffering setbacks on both the
professional and romantic fronts. A vivid account of Hollywood and
its politics and hierarchies, these stories - which draw from
Fitzgerald's own travails as a screenwriter - were first printed in
Esquire, although they were written with a view to being published
as a cohesive volume.
