The Storyteller
Harold Robbins

Harold Robins is like a guilty pleasure.. his books are not deep and meaningful.. but they are fun... They are a quick read and usually a good story. Most of his books seem to cover large periods of time, and this one is no different. It shows the life of a young man who wants to be a writer and follows him along as he gets some breaks, gets married, divorces, works in Hollywood, and becomes a respected author... all the time he is persuing the one girl he really wants.. and who does not want him.
This book was written in 1987 near the end of Robbins life. I wonder how much of it is autobiographical.. and how much is fiction. In the book the author makes up his bio when he gets published... and it well known that most of the bio that Robbins wrote was pure fiction, just like his books.
