They Went Another Way: A Hollywood Memoir

di Bruce Eric Kaplan (Autore)

Henry Holt & Company Inc, 2024

In January of 2022, Bruce Eric Kaplan found himself confused and upset by the state of the world and the state of his life as a television writer in Los Angeles. He started a journal to keep from going mad. That journal is now They Went Another Way. The book's through line traces his trying to get a television project set up in the increasingly Byzantine world of Hollywood. But as he details the project’s ups and downs, Bruce finds himself not only ruminating on show business, but also on today’s political and social issues, on old movies and TV shows and music, on his family, on his friends, on his past, on his failing heating system, and on all the dead birds that kept showing up in his backyard. This hilarious and surprisingly moving book is about life - about art, about love, about alienation, about connection, about ugliness and beauty, about disappointment and wonder and hope. In short it is about everything. And if it’s not, it almost is.
