Somebody’s Darling: A Novel

In SOMEBODY’S DARLING, Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry creates a vivid portrait éf the bizarre frontier at the Western edge – Hollywood, the movies and the people who create the fantasies.

Jill Peel, one of the best woman directors in Tinseltown, is on top of everything except for the men in her life. Joe Percy is an aging screenwriter cheerfully cynical about life, love and art. Owen Oarson is an ex-Texas football player who crawls from bed to bed pursuing his starry goal: to be a movie producer. With her two unlikely lovers and a supporting cast of Hollywood’s most unforgettable eccentrics, Jill sets out to create the ultimate movie magic.

Filled with all the grit, warmth, heart and humor of Larry McMurtry’s best-selling Texasville and Lonesome Dove, SOMEBODY’S DARLING takes us on a deft and raunchy romp behind the scenes of Americas own unique wonderland…Hollywood.
