Quote from this book "About this hour and season, four o'clock in the afternoon and early sunmmer, I find myself looking out of the window and wondering why the world seems bright yet melancholy. I am sitting in office 298 of a Hollywood film studio, working on a script and thinking that the film Cliff Harriston is going to make of it won't do either of us much good. This morning I noticed a truck parked outside one of the shooting stages. Scenery was being unloaded, the walls and furniture of a living-room carried into the empty stage where camera, lights and the high crane are already waiting. There is no stopping it now, I thought. Later, imagining the reality being hammered and painted and wheeled into shape over there, I looked at the pages on my desk and found them more unreal, more impossible than ever. Tomorrow there will be more arguments with executives. We shall plead our cause and discuss what is truth. I would like to start work on the novel I am hoping to write and pretend is already under way." opening paragraphs Secondhand booksellers |
