Publisher's Synopsis
Many of the stories in this collection cast a satirical eye on the business of movie-making. In the title novella, two very different brothers, each working in opposite ends of the film industry, uncover shocking family secrets after their father mysteriously dies. In the story 'Who Whom?', a French film producer attempts to humiliate an American director. 'The Siren's Song' tells the tale of a Greek sailor's rise and fall, which turn out to be one and the same. In 'God and Mammon', a hot young novelist whose work is revered for its honesty and vulgarity writes a dishonest screenplay of his novel.
