But the lost tribe may be a clever hoax and the Hollywood movie seems doomed as the cast and crew continue to self-destruct in a cloud of drugs and ego. As the consequences of these events play out, four unforgettable characters--a wealthy, iconoclastic playboy; a woman ensnared in the sex industry; a Filipino-American writer; and a jaded actor--find themselves drawn irrevocably together in this lavish, sensual portrait of a nation in crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJessica Hagedorn is the author of the novels \u003cb\u003eDogeaters\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eThe Gangster of Love\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eDream Jungle\u003c\/b\u003e, and a collection of poetry and short fiction, \u003cb\u003eDanger and Beauty\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50459941830930,"sku":"9780142001097","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6100dc4b-914f-4220-b0fe-fcf193063788.jpg?v=1730016814","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/dream-jungle-9780142001097","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
