Zeroville by Steve Erickson
The novel follows the journey of Vikar Jerome, a film-obsessed architecture student who arrives in Hollywood in the late 1960s, driven by his passion for cinema. With a tattoo of Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor from "A Place in the Sun" on his shaved head, Vikar becomes immersed in the film industry, navigating its eccentricities and dark undercurrents. As he works as a film editor, he encounters a series of enigmatic characters and experiences a surreal blend of reality and film, reflecting on the transformative power of movies and the blurred lines between life and art. Throughout his journey, Vikar grapples with themes of obsession, identity, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
