{"product_id":"books-american-rhapsody-by-joe-eszterhaz","title":"American Rhapsody","description":"The setting . . .\u003cbr\u003eWashington, Hollywood, and the landscape of the American Republic. \u003cbr\u003eThe writer . . . \u003cbr\u003eJoe Eszterhas, ex-Rolling Stone reporter, National Book Award nominee for Charlie Simpson's Apocalypse, and screenwriter of such blockbusters as Basic Instinct and Jagged Edge. \u003cbr\u003eThe stars . . .\u003cbr\u003eBill and Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Al Gore, John McCain, Ken Starr, and Monica Lewinsky. \u003cbr\u003eThe supporting players . . .\u003cbr\u003eWarren Beatty, James Carville, Sharon Stone, Larry Flynt, Vernon Jordan, Linda Tripp, Matt Drudge, and Bob Packwood (with cameos by Richard Nixon and Farrah Fawcett, Eleanor Roosevelt and David Geffen, Robert Evans and Richard Gere). \u003cbr\u003eThe story . . .\u003cbr\u003eThe most basic, and basest, in many years -- an up-close and personal look at the people who run our world. A tale filled with humor, tragedy and romance; suspense, absurdity and high drama; and, of course, lots and lots of sex. \u003cp\u003eIn American Rhapsody, Eszterhas combines comprehensive research with insight, honesty, and astute observation to reveal ultimate truths. This is a book that flouts virtually every rule, yet joins a rich journalistic tradition distinguished by such writers as Norman Mailer and Tom Wolfe. \u003cbr\u003eA brilliant, unnerving, hugely entertaining look at our political culture, our heroes and villains, American Rhapsody will delight some and outrage others, but it will not be ignored. What Joe Eszterhas has produced is a penetrating and devastating panorama of all of us, a fun-house mirror held up to our own morals, hypocrisies and desires. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420646527249,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780375411441.jpg?v=1787579145","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-american-rhapsody-by-joe-eszterhaz","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
