About the book
A classic portrait of unbridled ambition in Hollywood, following the meteoric rise of Sammy Glick, a young man who would do anything to reach the top. Through the eyes of his friend Laurie, we witness how greed and lack of scruples can catapult someone to success while leaving a trail of hurt people behind. Schulberg offers a scathing satire of the American film industry and the human costs of unchecked greed.
This work remains a disturbing reflection on our society's values, questioning whether someone who gains everything but loses their humanity has truly won.
