NOCTURNAL

By James Franco (Author)

I’m a nocturnal creature,

And I’m here to cheat time.

You can see time and exhaustion

Taking pay from my face—

In fifty years

My sleep will be death,

I’ll go like the rest,

But I’ll have played

All the games and all the roles.

De “Nocturnal”

“Em 50 anos
Meu sono vai ser a morte,
Eu vou como o resto,
Mas eu vou ter jogado
Todos os jogos e todos os papéis. “

“There’s never been a book quite like this. Hollywood

—fame, celebrity, the promise of becoming an artist
—is the beast at its center. Franco knows it like
Melville knows whaling. Hollywood in this book
devours its young. Obsessed with myths about its
own past, it can be survived only by finding
a vantage point that is not Hollywood. Bold yet subtle,
fearless yet disarming, Franco has made a book you
will never forget.” —Frank Bidart
