Nothing to Write Home About - Paperback

by Brook Simons (Author)

It is 1977 when Connecticut girl Brook Simons arrives in Los Angeles to become a screenwriter. Homesick and na ve, but ambitious, she falls into the narcotic clutches of the Sunset Strip standup comedy world. Soon obsessed and in love with a talented, self-destructive comedian, she can't get off the train wreck that ensues. Laced with sex, drugs and violence, this fast-paced, good-girl-goes-bad, true-story romp poses serious questions about addiction, abuse, and the power of passion.
