Book description
>There have been many novels about Hollywood. There has never been
one like this. Frederic Raphael's vision of California Time is of a
'sequence of presents', and his innovations in the form of the novel
serve only to add to the multi-faceted strangeness of the 'celluloid
capital'. Victor England, young and old at the same time, is a man of
many wives and many films, rich and yet dependent on the bounty of a
failing industry, whose golden slave he is.> >There have been
