About Pay or Play:

In Jon Boorstin's first novel, a filmmaker presents a satirical novel about Hollywood that follows the career of a young screenwriter whose script attracts a star and a top studio head, which turns out to be a mixed blessing. 

Praise for Pay or Play:

“Boorstin’s Hollywood satire, his first novel, is so good it reads like a documentary even when events are patently absurd and incredible. That's the fun. And that's Hollywood…heaping equal scorn on pretentious aesthetes and big-business blusterers, using wild hyperbole in the service of genuine insight, Boorstin has written the definitive send-up of Hollywood.” — Publishers Weekly

“Convincing and compelling precisely because Boorstin has been there and done that.” — Los Angeles Times

"A fine send-up of Hollywood Folklore… Boorstin is a very good writer, whether he’s describing particular vibes you get from living too close to an LA freeway, or what it’s like to slog through the jungle muck of New Guinea.” — Washington Post
