Surreal upon surreal. Yet LA has proven to be a very supportive place for me, financially, artistically, and emotionally, so maybe I'm just a surreal child.

I found it lacking on a lot of levels, but some of his other books, like Days Between Stations, are top notch.

I totally see the Lynch comparison and I second the recommendation of Zeroville. If you're interested, I conducted an interview with Erickson for ChuckPalahniuk.net back when Zeroville came out. He gives a great interview. http://chuckpalahniuk.net/interviews/authors/steve-erickson Erickson is one of my favorite authors.

It's like the "Apocalypse Now" of Hollywood novels, and not just because a supporting character seems to be based loosely on John Milius. The ending is devastating.
