{"product_id":"slow-fade-9781937112028","title":"Slow Fade","description":"With a geography as diverse as the streets of Beverly Hills and the charnel grounds of India, a Mexican beach resort and the Russian Tea Room in New York City, this is a spare, eloquent, and deeply informed novel about the world of the movies. It is a profound and utterly convincing portrait of a man whose career and life has been devoted to the manipulation of images--on the screen and at the conference table, with actors and technicians--and the story of how, at the age of 71, he tries to divest himself of illusions and make peace with his demons and his past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRudolph Wurlitzer is the screenwriter of \u003ci\u003ePat Garrett and Billy the Kid \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTwo-Lane Blacktop\u003c\/i\u003e.
