Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Since he first appeared on the American literary scene, Jerome Charyn has dazzled readers with his blunt, brilliantly crafted prose (Washington Post). Yet Charyn, a beloved comedic novelist, also possesses an extraordinary knowledge of Golden Age Hollywood, having taught film history both in the United States and France. With Big Red, Charyn reimagines the life of one of Americas most enduring icons, Gilda herself, Rita Hayworth, whose fiery red tresses and hypnotic dancing graced the silver screen over sixty times in her nearly forty-year career. The quintessential movie star of the 1940s, Hayworth has long been objectified as a sex symbol, pin-up girl, and so-called Love Goddess. Here Charyn, channeling the ghosts of a buried past, finally lifts the veils that have long enshrouded Hayworth, evoking her emotional complexityher passions, her pain, and her inner turmoil. Charyns reimagining of Hayworths story begins in 1943, in a roomette at the Hollywood Hotel, where narrator Rusty Redburnan impetuous, second-string gossip columnist from Kalamazoo, Michiganbides her time between working as a gofer in the publicity offices of Columbia Pictures, volunteering at an indie movie house, and pursuing dalliances with young women on the Sunset Strip. Called upon by the manipulative Columbia movie mogul Harry The Janitor Cohn to spy on Hayworththen, the Dream Factorys most alluring dame, and Cohns biggest movie starRusty becomes Ritas confidante, accompanying her on a series of madcap adventures with her indomitable husband, the boy genius Orson Welles. But Rusty, an outlaw who can see beyond the prejudices of Hollywoods male-dominated hierarchy, quickly becomes disgusted with the way actresses, and particularly Rita, are exploited by men. As she struggles to balance the dangerous politics of Tinseltown with her desire to protect Rita from ruffians and journalists alike, Rusty has her own encounterssome sweet, some bruisingwith characters real and imagined, from Julie Tanaka, an interned Japanese-American friend, to superstars like Clark Gable and Tallulah Bankhead, as well as notorious Hollywood gossip columnist Louella Parsons. Reanimating such classic films as Gilda and The Lady from Shanghai, Big Red is a bittersweet paean to Hollywoods Golden Age, a tender yet honest portrait of a time before blockbusters and film franchisesone that promises to consume both Hollywood cinephiles and neophytes alike. Lauded for his polymorphous imagination (Jonathan Lethem), Charyn once again has created one of the most inventive novels in recent American literature.
