Charlie For Awhile

Mark Butterworth

4.9/5 (15282 ratings)

Description:Charlie Allen, a moderately successful, thirty-five year old, Hollywood screenwriter, concocts a daring scheme: plagiarize the best lines and writing from dead poets, recast them in modern diction, and cobble them together to produce the greatest screenplay ever. To live or not to live. That’s what I wonder. And nobody can sue him. As Charlie embarks on his literary adventure, he comically observes the movie business, the growing fragility of his marriage, and his lackadaisical attitude to his two, small children. Giving his magnum opus the unwieldy, working title, America - The Beautiful Poem, Charlie crafts an outlandish, melodramatic tale set in 1850 about King Peter of the United States sending his eldest son, Prince John, to Canada to wed the Queen of Canada’s daughter and weld an alliance between the two countries. But Rodrigo, Prince of Mexico sends assassins to kill John. Meanwhile, King Peter is overthrown by his brother; John is sold as a hostage to the Emperor of China; and his brother, William sets off on a quest to find John, and restore the kingdom. Charlie then gets the grandiose idea to squander family savings, and film America — The Beautiful Poem independently — the lure and seduction of fulfilling a cinematic vision gripping him as it has so many before — until life unmasks a hidden countenance, and tragedy befalls his happy scheme and genial egotism. Comic, satirical, observant, sad, and sweet, Charlie For Awhile, a rich novel, may find itself set on the shelf between the rollicking A Confederacy of Dunces and the neurotic Portnoy’s Complaint as an American classic. It’s rare that a book is this much plain fun to read.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
