A collection of stories about unscrupulous film writer Pat Hobby, a relic from the early days of Hollywood, looking for success in the changing world of the movies. Fitzgerald's collection paints a comic portrait of a man unwilling to accept his fate as a thing of the past. Entertainingly artless, insensitive, lazy and scheming, Hobby keeps his head just above water as the decades leave silent film behind.
