Críticas:
Funny, subversive, unlightening, and philosophical. (Elle)
Actors Anonymous is a book for anyone who enjoys delving under the surface of Hollywood . . . An engaging exploration of the weird and the wonderful . . . Fascinating. (Daily Express)
Subversively funny and provocatively honest . . . Truly original. (Gary Shteyngart)
Franco's novel lures you in with indelible images, provocative mind games, and characters laid bare, then successfully strands you in a frightening place. (Amy Hempel)
In Actors Anonymous, Franco performs an auto-celebrity roast that is at once mordantly funny, maddening and provocative . . . a kind of intellectual companion piece to his role in This Is the End. (USA Today)
Part aphorism, part instruction manual, part reflection, part short story and, seemingly, part memoir, the narrative is a pastiche of forms and moods. Franco (or his alter ego) presents his ideas through anecdotes and semi-plausible fictional incidents, with plenty of inside references to Hollywood actors. (Kirkus Reviews)

Hollywood has always been a private club. I open the gates. I say welcome. I say, look inside. Inspired by Alcoholics Anonymous's 12 Steps and 12 Traditions, James Franco's Actors Anonymous is a dark, genre-bending work that mixes memoir and pure invention in an examination of celebrity, acting and the making of fiction. A series of stories told in many forms, Actors Anonymous provides a fascinating meditation on the art of Hollywood, along with nightmarish tales of excess.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Inspired by Alcoholics Anonymous's 12 Steps and 12 Traditions, Actors Anonymous is a dark, genre-bending work that mixes memoir and pure invention in an audacious examination of celebrity, acting and the making of fiction.Actors Anonymous is unsettling, funny and personal - a series of stories told in many forms: a McDonald's drive-thru operator who spends his shift trying on accents; an exchild star recalling a massive beachside bacchanal; hospital volunteers putting a camera in the hands of a patient obsessed with horror films; a vampire-flick starlet who discovers a cryptic book written by a famous actor, who may have killed his father and gone on the run.The book contains profound insights into the nature and purpose of acting. Franco mercilessly turns his 'James Franco' persona inside out while, at the same time, providing a fascinating meditation on his art, along with nightmarish tales of excess. 'Hollywood has always been a private club,' he writes. 'I open the gates. I say welcome. I say, Look inside.'Franco's writing is vivid and disturbing, but what distinguishes his work is the great compassion he extends towards his characters, who he presents in all their raw humanity, while at the same time providing insight into their deeper selves. From acclaimed Hollywood actor/director James Franco, a dark, genre-bending work that mixes memoir and pure invention in an audacious examination of celebrity, acting and the making of fiction.
