The Christmas List:
The Whole Equation : A History of Hollywood by DAVID THOMSON
Just what we need to read at Oscar time! “ Reading David Thomson’s new book, is like listening to a favorite older uncle reminisce about his Hollywood career; it’s full of interesting stories of yesteryear, lots of valuable insights. Thomson is an accomplished critic who has written for The New York Times and Salon. In The Whole Equation (a reference to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel about Hollywood, The Last Tycoon), he brings in finance, film theory, and just plain gossip. (For those who haven’t heard how Jean Harlow died, prepare to watch the facade of glamour crumble as never before.)
