New edition of Alan Marcus's 1960 second novel, Of Streets and Stars, a poetic description of the lives of those who work and live in the artificial Hollywood film world.
A novel of dazzling originality, written with compassion, sometimes with wild humor, always in the beauty of simplicity. - Dorothy Parker
The literary sensation of the year. . . . His style is spare, lean, staccato. Jagged cutting in and out of scenes, in the manner of a skillful director, gives the book a breathless momentum. It needs to be read carefully, but the effort will be handsomely repaid. - The New York Times
I have as high an opinion of this talent as anything I have encountered in a long while. - Saul Bellow
The writing is at once easy and precise - that magical conjunction almost no one hits . . . brilliant insights, brilliantly caught. I read it with more than pleasure. - Archibald MacLeish
A truly original and sensitive novel . . . the work of a very powerful talent. - Harvey Swados
