Abstract:
“Hollywood!” From rags to riches. A captivating novel about the son of a migrant family devoted to each other. He hated being poor, a peasant trapped in a “Ghetto.” He wanted out seeking a humane way of life, to rescue his family from the torturous sweat shops of the olive oil industry: scratching out a meager existence. Years later, an egotistical punk became a man. Through bizarre circumstances, he became addicted to film: the celluloid world, Hollywood! Frank Capra, director, par excellence, had attached himself to Hollywood’s magic carpet with a fervor! An adventurous journey: tantamount to a meteor going anywhere.
