City of Angles
Autor Jonathan Leafen Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 mai 2023
Billy Rosenberg is a workmanlike screenwriter who finds his fate intertwined with would-be starlet Vincenza Morgan in this fiendish and sharp tale of a city where Image always trumps Reality.
Filled with plot twists, wicked humor, and vivid commentary on celebrity culture, author Jonathan Leaf has skillfully crafted a compelling romp which manages to weave murder, drugs, sex cults, modern relationships, and naked ambition together into a tale that lays bare the real Los Angeles—a city where even the angels have an angle.

Recenzii
“Lacerating wit…As chilling as it is morbidly funny...delightfully humorous, and the murder mystery is engrossing. The book is filled with hilarious insights...This is lighthearted literary entertainment at its best—easily companionable, intelligent, and brimming with artful humor. A genuinely funny sendup...”
“Brilliant...a delightful mix of comic novel and mystery...a deeper imaginative level than almost any mystery writer—much less comic mystery writer—I’ve ever encountered. City of Angles delivers a wallop with its ending...ought to be made immediately into a movie. Nothing like this has come along to my knowledge since Robert Altman’s The Player.”
“Devilishly funny…City of Angles most closely resembles the two funniest, and most bitter, Hollywood novels, Joan Didion's Play It as It Lays and Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One… It’s a wild ride that ultimately leads to a satisfying conclusion.”
“Akin to Tom Wolfe...Like Wolfe, he manages to do it with a light, humorous touch...What an entertaining book!”
“A page-turner…This short book is a big achievement.”
“Hard to put down!”
“A fascinating cast of characters…The author has accomplished something that the literature and mystery world has been missing for a long time. Our society, so overwhelmed with ideology and wokeness, has forgotten how to have fun, experience joy and humor....”
“Has you at hello...he captures the place of Hollywood...And he knows the movie industry’s rhythms, detailing with precision the elaborate dance of pitch meetings and audition callbacks...mastery of plot...Keep writing books. We will be richer for them.”
“A rollicking takedown of the City of Angels…a fast-paced comic thriller…the novel’s cast of characters is large but deftly drawn.”
