Considered by some to be Budd Schulberg's masterpiece, The Disenchanted tells the tragic story of Manley Halliday, a fabulously successful writer during the 1920s--a golden figure in a golden age--who by the late 1930s is forgotten by the literary establishment, living in Hollywood...


Mr. Schulberg has a ferocious knowledge of Hollywood, and his satiric portraits of Milgrim, the producer, and Al Harper, the agent, are sharp . . . as is his rendition of Hollywood sweettalk.--Atlantic Monthly.
