About this Item
The Matterhorn - a forty storey monolith in concrete and golden glass, towers over Los Angeles like a watchful sentinel, seeing all, knowing all, yet in itself remote and unreachable. In the shadow of this golden monster, the headquarters of the EVI Television Network, Sam Wordsmith, Oscar-nominated English scenario writer, struggles against the ubiquitous and anonymous powers of Chairman Brandt, the Network mastermind who determines and opposes every step he takes from behind his distant secret mask. In an hysterically illogical game of snakes and ladders, Sam meets a gallery of bizarre Hollywood figures, from Henry Axel Vana, the human quotation mark, and Kay Massie, the geriatric sex-kitten, to the devastasting Ilsa Kottas, whose legs go to halfway to heaven and Brandt. As she entices Sam deeper into Brandt's web of lies and deceit and mystery and danger, she forces him, paradoxically, to come to terms with himself, his background and his faith.
