someone needs to spot this guy in the open and hit him with a couple tranq darts

and have his way with the deadweight

"and have his way with the deadweight"

That is a bit harsh, he is at least half as charismatic as Warren Beatty.

The actors in James Franco’s brilliant debut novel include a McDonald’s drive-thru operator who spends his shift trying on accents; an ex-child star recalling a massive beachside bacchanal; hospital volunteers and Midwestern transplants; a vampire flick starlet who discovers a cryptic book written by a famous actor gone AWOL; and the ghost of River Phoenix. Then there’s Franco himself, who prowls backstage, peering out between the lines—before taking the stage with fascinating meditations on his art, along with nightmarish tales of excess. “Hollywood has always been a private club,” he writes. “I open the gates. I say welcome. I say, Look inside.”

Told in a dizzying array of styles—from lyric essays and disarming testimonials to hilariously rambling text messages and ghostly footnotes—and loosely modeled on Alcoholics Anonymous’ Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Actors Anonymous is an intense, wild ride into the dark heart of celebrity.

i don't like james franco's writing and filmmaking from what i have read and seen -- the obama poem and the hart crane film. however, i feel the deck is sort of stacked against him because of his celebrity. if this novel -- which seems to be vaguely experimental -- were really good, how many people would want to admit that? the idea of james franco, of pineapple express fame, writing a book that involves the ghost of river phoenix is just taken, immediately, to be ridiculous, but if bret easton ellis did that i'd imagine people would have more time for it.

i guess there are worse people to be than james franco, but being james franco is not without its disadvantages.

i understand that james franco's celebrity is a big part of the reason his book was able to find a publisher and receive promotion in the first place but still...

In A California Childhood he plays with the concept of memoir through personal snapshots, sketches, paintings, poems, and stories. “I was born in 1978 at Stanford Hospital and spent my first eighteen years in a single house at the end of a cul-de-sac in Palo Alto,” Franco writes in his introduction. Steve Jobs’s daughter and the grandson of one of the Hewlett-Packard founders may have both been in his graduating class, but just across the freeway from his home turf lay East Palo Alto, which in 1992 had the highest murder rate per capita in the country. For Franco, the terrain of his upbringing is fraught with the complication of a city divided. But within that diversity, universal aspects of adolescence rise to the surface, and those are the subjects at the heart of Franco’s work.

Ultimately this is a portrait of a childhood brightened by California sunshine, but with trouble awaiting in the shadows. At turns funny, dark, and emotional, the journey of this book delivers an undeniable immediacy. And at the end the reader is left wondering just where the line of Franco’s art ends and where his true life begins.

if this novel -- which seems to be vaguely experimental

?!?!?!!?!!!

i was just referring to the fact that, from what i gleaned from skimming your posts, it involves river phoenix's ghosts, so i imagined it was some magical realist type thing that incorporated pop culture elements in a way that would read as "gimmicky" to most readers of realist or genre fiction.

Ghosts don't seem gimmicky, experimental, or magical realist to me, but OK.

We're watching freaks and geeks atm and james franco and his lips

xp it's told in a "dizzying array of styles."

vaguely experimental does not equal good or even truly experimental. it means that it is fucking around with form and self-consciously deciding to avoid certain conventions, perhaps in order to be taken more seriously by certain kinds of critics. (james franco has an MFA).

it's like basically a genre tag, not a compliment. i was saying that since he is james franco the more "out there" elements of his books, any kind of imaginative anything that he does, like making river phoenix's ghost a character, is more likely to be mocked.

if it's good, it'll find an appreciative audience. getting your vanity projects financed & published on a whim is something a lot of people would kill for so there's no reason on earth to feel bad for him - i dont think even franco cares if people like his shit

(james franco has an MFA)

Yeah I think if it's good (it doesn't sound good) than yeah good for him but it sounds hideous.

"vaguely experimental" describes the James Franco Project.
