Hype and Glory

by William Goldman · 1990

+ Want to read

Top screenwriter and novelist William Goldman's Adventures in the Screen Trade was a trade paperback hit after a moderately successful hardcover run. Hype and Glory—his critically praised, controversial insider's look at both Cannes and the Miss America Pageant—promises to be an even more potent seller.
