Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited literary debut—at once refined and brutal, ridiculously funny and full of surprises (sometimes terrifying)—a novel based on the events of the Oscar-winning film of the same name.
RICK DALTON—once a TV star, now greatly faded: starring in villain roles, Rick drowns his bitterness in portions of “Whiskey Sour.” Will a phone call from Rome save him, or will everything get even worse?
CLIFF BOOTH—Rick’s stunt double and the most notorious man on any film set, because he’s the only one who got away with murder…
SHARON TATE—she ran away from Texas to make her dream of the big screen come true, and it worked out for her. Sharon spends the best days of her life on Cielo Drive in the hills of Hollywood.
CHARLES MANSON—an ex-con who gathered around himself a gang of stoned hippies who think of him as their spiritual leader—but he would give anything to become a rock star.
Hollywood, 1969: too bad you weren’t there.
