Little Hollywood by Jinnwoo

It’s open audition day at the Little Hollywood talent agency. Lights on, camera ready, assemble your dolls! Inspired by the paper doll classics, Little Hollywood is a modern take on storytelling. The text is a collection of short scripts for B-team actors who will be auditioning for finger-numbing roles that are as uncomfortable as they are hilarious. Jinnwoo (Ben Webb) is a writer, musician, and visual artist. This is his first literary collection.

**One of Dennis Cooper’s Favorite Books of 2019**
