Fleeting fictions : film technology, adaptation, and a history of the Hollywood novel, 1920-1950
Justin Richard Gautreau (Author)
Fleeting Fictions argues that novels central to the genre of Hollywood fiction engaged with film's technological ramifications as a method of countering the studio system's promotional image of itself. My use of the word "technology" refers not only to the technical infrastructure of film production but also to the more figurative technologies surrounding Hollywood, specifically the Hays Office responding to celebrity scandal off screen while attempting to regulate content on screen
