..a peek into the actor's life that's a pretty as an Instagram." — Variety It's hard to tell where the real James Franco ends and the cartoonish public figure begins—which is precisely the point…a clever piece of performance art that digs deeper into Provocative Artist James Franco." — LA Magazine The Franco commodity is now so meta, so fierce, that picking apart the various layers of who is James Franco" is futile: he is always and never himself….

Synopsis
In his follow-up to A California Childhood, James Franco reflects on his life in Hollywood and beyond through an intimate and powerful series of poems, artwork, and short stories. In his follow-up to the critically acclaimed A California Childhood, James Franco presents a compelling portrait of the life of a young actor coming into his own in Hollywood. Told in an absorbing array of literary styles and art forms--from short stories and poems to personal snapshots, paintings and self-portraits--Hollywood Dreaming brilliantly pieces together the youth of a seemingly familiar actor, playfully blurring the line between reality and fiction. The escapades of a jaded Hollywood insider counter a series of inter-connected stories about a boy named Shrimp and the hopeful young actor he becomes. Each piece of the story, whether visual or textual, thoughtfully peels away another layer of the book's protagonist, whose character unfolds like a Russian nesting doll. Ultimately, the collage that James Franco creates becomes a fascinating caricature of himself, a performance on the page that is equal parts provocative, funny, and emotional., In his follow-up to the critically acclaimed A California Childhood , James Franco presents a compelling portrait of the life of a young actor coming into his own in Hollywood.
