The Errol Flynn Novel

by Geoff Nicholson (Author)

Synopsis

Charismatic film director Dan Ryan is planning to make 'The Errol Flynn Movie' and Jake is the struggling actor he wants in the role of the famous swashbuckler and seducer. Initially dubious, Jake soon becomes immersed in the details of Flynn's life and realises they have more in common than he'd care to admit. But as fascination veers towards obsession, Jake finds himself in a nightmare of epic proportions. Wildly funny, sexy and compelling The Errol Flynn Novel casts new light on one of Hollywood's most ambiguous icons.

Book Overview: Published alongside his new novel Bedlam Burning, and paperback editions of Hunters & Gatherers and Bleeding London All Geoff Nicholson's novels receive brilliant reviews: 'Hilariously funny ... so clever, so unusual and so over-the-top that it is probably the Flynn book that Errol himself would have enjoyed most' Gerald Kaufman, Manchester Evening News 'Wickedly funny' Vanity Fair 'With his early novels Nicholson drew comparisons with Tom Sharpe but that is selling him short; they are more reminiscent of the early novels of Evelyn Waugh - farcical comedies laced with dark undertones of violence, cruelty and bitterness, with a wild exuberance of their very own. Read him - and laugh yourself sick' Time Out
