Tell All book description up on amazon
sounds interesting:
Product Description
The hyperactive love child of Page Six and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? caught in a tawdry love triangle with The Fan. Even Kitty Kelly will blush.
Soaked, nay, marinated in the world of vintage Hollywood, Tell-All is a Sunset Boulevard–inflected homage to Old Hollywood when Bette Davis and Joan Crawford ruled the roost; a veritable Tourette’s syndrome of rat-tat-tat name-dropping, from the A-list to the Z-list; and a merciless send-up of Lillian Hellman’s habit of butchering the truth that will have Mary McCarthy cheering from the beyond.
Our Thelma Ritter–ish narrator is Hazie Coogan, who for decades has tended to the outsized needs of Katherine “Miss Kathie” Kenton—veteran of multiple marriages, career comebacks, and cosmetic surgeries. But danger arrives with gentleman caller Webster Carlton Westward III, who worms his way into Miss Kathie’s heart (and boudoir). Hazie discovers that this bounder has already written a celebrity tell-all memoir foretelling Miss Kathie’s death in a forthcoming Lillian Hellman–penned musical extravaganza; as the body count mounts, Hazie must execute a plan to save Katherine Kenton for her fans—and for posterity.
Tell-All is funny, subversive, and fascinatingly clever. It’s wild, it’s wicked, it’s bold-faced—it’s vintage Chuck.
what do ya think???

i'm pretty excited. currently reading her memoir, an unfinished woman. she's quite interesting indeed. it's odd reading perspective from new orleans so long ago, being that my wife is from there. race has always played a strong part of the forming of the big easy, as has corruption. the memoir also lead me to believe that she may not have entirely adhered to her memory, or that her memory changed a lot over the years. but the part of being at the nigger house, just the reactionism, seemed a bit softened.
i am very excited about the book. chuck always seems to change it up, every book is presented in a different format entirely. it's fucking eerie. haha
