@Jonathan_Novy Such a good book. I can’t believe they successfully turned his novel into a movie. Could have gone horribly wrong in lesser hands. – source2019-02-08T00:11:51.000Z
American Tabloid by James Elroy is maybe THE novel about the last century. That’s why I’ve always wished we could make a miniseries from it. The book is about ALL of this blackmail, power, corruption stuff. And about the dark soul of the American male political animal. – source
