Description:
<DIV><b>McCoy&rsquo;s classic, slyly funny novel about a pair of young actors trying to make it in a pitiless Hollywood</b></div><DIV><BR>For aspiring actor Ralph Carston, all roads lead to Hollywood&mdash;but none seem to be direct or easy. The handsome Georgia native immediately finds that his Southern accent is one strike against him, though he manages to eke out a living as an extra alongside his pretty roommate Mona Matthews. But the big break for these two young hopefuls finally arrives in a curious way. When their third roommate is sentenced to three years in prison for shoplifting, Mona&rsquo;s emotional courtroom outburst wins her and Ralph notoriety&mdash;and entr&eacute;e into new social circles. Ralph becomes the self-loathing plaything of Ethel Smithers, a wealthy widow who promises much but has no interest in delivering. Mona faces romantic nightmares of her own while also being blacklisted for joining a union. A precursor to <i>Sunset Boulevard</i>, and reminiscent of Nathanael West, <i>I Should Have Stayed Home </i>is a fantastically hardboiled portrait of Tinseltown in the thirties.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an extended biography of Horace McCoy.</div>
