If the Watergate scandal was a previous generation's

National Nightmare, then maybe the Clinton scandal was our National

Wet Dream, and who better to narrate it than the screenwriter Joe

Eszterhas? In American Rhapsody, Eszterhas, whose

credits include Basic Instinct and Showgirls, and

Charlie Simpson's Apocalypse, for which he was nominated for

a National Book Award, takes us through the events that threatened

to topple a president and left most of the nation's citizens with,

at the very least, a bad taste in their mouths.

Taking full advantage of his considerable

journalistic and storytelling talents, Eszterhas gives us every

fact, rumor, or innuendo surrounding the president's foibles in the

context of late century American politics and entertainment.

Here Washington and Hollywood do more than just flirt with each

other; they share the same bed. From scandalmongers Matt

Drudge (who began as a Hollywood gossip) and Ken Starr, to would-be

president paramours Sharon Stone and Barbra Streisand, to his

final, unimpeachable witness, Willard—none other than President

Clinton's talking penis—Eszterhas gives us the goods on the story

that nobody could stop talking about and, thanks to American

Rhapsody, will be impossible to think about the same way

again.

媒体评论

This is a truly naughty book, but it is also a strangely moral

one. -

Talk

"Part tell-all, part fiction, part rant, part

history.  It's all wicked and witty and hard to ignore." -

The Denver Post

"A fact-based, ranting, rocking -and-rolling screed with

none of the full-frontal scissored out... a long yell of protest...

extremely funny." - Christopher Hitchens,

  The New York

Times Book Review

书籍介绍

If the Watergate scandal was a previous generation's National Nightmare, then maybe the Clinton scandal was our National Wet Dream, and who better to narrate it than the screenwriter Joe Eszterhas? In American Rhapsody , Eszterhas, whose credits include Basic Instinct and Showgirls, and Charlie Simpson's Apocalypse, for which he was nominated for a National Book Award, takes us through the events that threatened to topple a president and left most of the nation's citizens with, at the very least, a bad taste in their mouths.

Taking full advantage of his considerable journalistic and storytelling talents, Eszterhas gives us every fact, rumor, or innuendo surrounding the president's foibles in the context of late century American politics and entertainment. Here Washington and Hollywood do more than just flirt with each other; they share the same bed. From scandalmongers Matt Drudge (who began as a Hollywood gossip) and Ken Starr, to would-be president paramours Sharon Stone and Barbra Streisand, to his final, unimpeachable witness, Willard—none other than President Clinton's talking penis—Eszterhas gives us the goods on the story that nobody could stop talking about and, thanks to American Rhapsody, will be impossible to think about the same way again.
