Présentation Big Red Format Relié
- Livre Littérature Générale
Résumé : Since he first appeared on the American literary scene, Jerome Charyn has dazzled readers with his blunt, brilliantly crafted prose (Washington Post). Yet Charyn, a beloved comedic novelist, also possesses an extraordinary knowledge of Golden Age Hollywood, having taught film history both in the United States and France. With Big Red, Charyn reimagines the life of one of America's most enduring icons, Gilda herself, Rita Hayworth, whose fiery red tresses and hypnotic dancing graced the silver screen over sixty times in her nearly forty-year career. The quintessential movie star of the 1940s, Hayworth has long been objectified as a sex symbol, pin-up girl, and so-called Love Goddess. Here Charyn, channeling the ghosts of a buried past, finally lifts the veils that have long enshrouded Hayworth, evoking her emotional complexity-her passions, her pain, and her inner turmoil. Charyn's reimagining of Hayworth's story begins in 1943, in a roomette at the Hollywood Hotel, where narrator Rusty Redburn-an impetuous, second-string gossip columnist from Kalamazoo, Michigan-bides her time between working as a gofer in the publicity offices of Columbia Pictures, volunteering at an indie movie house, and pursuing dalliances with young women on the Sunset Strip. Called upon by the manipulative Columbia movie mogul Harry The Janitor Cohn to spy on Hayworth-then, the Dream Factory's most alluring dame, and Cohn's biggest movie star-Rusty becomes Rita's confidante, accompanying her on a series of madcap adventures with her indomitable husband, the boy genius Orson Welles. But Rusty, an outlaw who can see beyond the prejudices of Hollywood's male-dominated hierarchy, quickly becomes disgusted with the way actresses, and particularly Rita, are exploited by men. As she struggles to balance the dangerous politics of Tinseltown with her desire to protect Rita from ruffians and journalists alike, Rusty has her own encounters-some sweet, some bruising-with characters real and imagined, from Julie Tanaka, an interned Japanese-American friend, to superstars like Clark Gable and Tallulah Bankhead, as well as notorious Hollywood gossip columnist Louella Parsons. Reanimating such classic films as Gilda and The Lady from Shanghai, Big Red is a bittersweet paean to Hollywood's Golden Age, a tender yet honest portrait of a time before blockbusters and film franchises-one that promises to consume both Hollywood cinephiles and neophytes alike. Lauded for his polymorphous imagination (Jonathan Lethem), Charyn once again has created one of the most inventive novels in recent American literature.
Biographie:
One of the most important writers in American literature (Michael Chabon), Jerome Charyn?is the award-winning author of more than fifty works, including The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson. A renowned scholar of twentieth-century Hollywood, he lives in Manhattan....
Sommaire: Jerome Charyn's movie-love dances like a flame over every page of Big Red. Like its gloriously outspoken narrator-who never existed but should have-the book is bewitched by cinema and also hardheaded about the crass, exploitative reality of the dream factory. It's a dazzling romp through old Hollywood, and a fiercely loving effort to set the record straight. Big Red is the most entertaining book I've read all year. It's as if Herman Wouk and James Ellroy had a love child, and that love child was given a typewriter at birth. This is a wise, hilarious, and very deep look into Hollywood's ambitions, dreams, and indulgences. I hope Jerome Charyn is already at work on its sequel.? Jerome Charyn is an American original. His prose is scintillant, seemingly without effort or strain, yet unfailingly brilliant & audacious. In 'Big Red' the characteristic virtuosity is present--but beneath, a tender, bruised heart. In an astounding sixth decade of productivity, Jerome Charyn remains one of our finest writers. . . . Whatever milieu he chooses to inhabit, his characters sizzle with life, and his sentences are pure vernacular music, his voice unmistakable. Jerome Charyn is one of the most important writers in American literature. No one writes historical fiction better than Jerome Charyn, and Big Red, his latest, narrated by the marvelously wry Rusty Redburn, is the hilarious and moving tale of a bygone Hollywood-its glamour, its stars, its moguls, its dreams, and its victims-all told with the tender wisdom of a good friend.
