{"product_id":"9780743243384","title":"Still Holding","description":"By: Bruce Wagner     \u003chr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce Wagner has been hailed for his powerful prose, his Swiftian satire, and the scalpel-sharp wit that has, in each of his novels, dissected and sometimes disemboweled Hollywood excess.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In his most ambitious book to date, \u003ci\u003eStill Holding,\u003c\/i\u003e Wagner immerses readers in post-September 11 Hollywood, revealing as much rabid ambition, rampant narcissism, and unchecked mental illness as ever. He infiltrates the gilded life of a superstar actor\/sex symbol\/practicing Buddhist, the compromised world of a young actress whose big break comes when she's hired to play a corpse on \u003ci\u003eSix Feet Under,\u003c\/i\u003e and the strange parallel universe of look-alikes -- an entire industry in which struggling actors are hired out for parties and conventions to play their famous counterparts. Alternately hilarious and heartfelt, ferocious and empathetic, \u003ci\u003eStill Holding\u003c\/i\u003e is Bruce Wagner's most expertly calibrated work.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46744097652963,"sku":"DTRSSUS-9780743243384","price":151.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/O_e2646fba-02ed-47c3-9869-671d8632b27f.jpg?v=1762138903","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/en-mo\/products\/9780743243384","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
