About the book
Toby Temple, the son of German immigrants raised in a working-class neighborhood, flees to Hollywood and spends years struggling before a producer named Clifton Lawrence helps him become a famous comedian, though fame turns him into a tyrant who demands everyone depend on him. Meanwhile, Josephine Czinski, a Texas girl in love with a local millionaire, renames herself Jill Castle and heads west chasing stardom. She finds Hollywood harsh, and eventually her path brings her into Toby's orbit and his show.
