A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bored with his job as a copywriter at a major hotel chain and living in a n oisy apartment in Hollywood teeming with would-be actors and unsavory chara cters, aspiring novelist Rupert is laid off and seizes the opportunity to m ove to a serene dwelling in order to live in the peace and quiet he needs t o go on a Bukowski-like writing bender. Instead, he ends up at The Dryden Arms in Glendale, California, where he ta kes the job as Resident Manager and encounters, in an absurdist reality, te nants who make him think he has become the warden of an asylum. We trail be hind him, laughing all the way, as he deals with tenant-on-tenant attempted murder, race relations, a ghost, an uneasy romance with a bitchy lit agent , a smug cat, Eastern philosophies, invisible roommates, a porn star, a fou l-mouthed solipsist with undiagnosed allergies, and a lawn-obsessed polymat h. Then there's the elderly Don, whom Rupert alternately fantasizes about o ffing to get his fabulous apartment or rescuing from the impending oblivion of old age. Follow the imaginative POV of Rupert as he navigates The Dryden Arms, bringing out both his suspicious and compassionate nature in a riotous non-stop ride.
