Signet/Penguin, Markham, ON, 1990, 2nd pr.  ISBN 0-451-16506-3.  MMPB, 560 pages.  Wraps show edge and cover wear, creases and reading creases; binding tight.  Name inked on first page; remainder of interior clean and unmarked with tanned pages.  ‘Cross Citizen Kane with Blue Velvet and you’ll get some idea of this wide-screen send-up of the movie business as it follows the career of Shark Trager – rebel filmmaker and mega-successful producer – from his birth in 1950 at a drive-in movie theater and his meteoric rise to the pinnacle of Hollywood power, to his equally spectacular descent, crash, and burn.  As told by an astonishing case of characters who witness and vividly relate Shark’s raunchy exploits, this satiric masterpiece is an outrageously sexy and savagely funny portrait of “the industry.”’ (from rear wrap)
