Description
Who started the alleged celebrity food fight at Spago, if it happened, and what was George Clooney wearing, anyway? Why did Ernest Hemingway abandon plans for his ambitious novel sequel, For Whom the Phone Rings? Ferrell's artistic audacity takes us from the bright lights of the spoken-word circuit to the forbidden realms of America's secret societies -- including, not least of all, an inside look at The Covert Anonymous Hush-Hush League.
Ferrell's dark-comedy baseball novel, Screwball, was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection optioned by Universal Pictures. The author is a multi-award-winning former staff writer at the Los Angeles Times, where he was a member of two Pulitzer Prize-winning news teams. Known for his sharp, lyrical writing style, he roamed the roiling polyglot metropolis from the teeming streets of Skid Row to the palm-shrouded mansions of Beverly Hills, breathing life into tales about homelessness, wealth, jailhouse violence, and extreme sports. Ferrell's gripping account of the Badwater Ultramarathon was featured in the anthology Best American Sports Writing. He and his family live in Long Beach, California.
