ABOUT HOW AMERICA INTERPRETS ITS CELEBRITIES

WWW.BLOODMOONPRODUCTIONS.COM

Love Triangle is that rare animal: A book that appeals both to the devotees and the detractors of Ronald Reagan. Theres not a page in this large, monumentally researched work that doesnt contain a gold nugget of insider Hollywood revelation, some of which might shock the faint of heart.

All the dish is here on star Jane Wyman and starlet Nancy Davis, too, those naughty ladies from the good (bad) days of Golden Age Tinseltown. Back then, secrets were to be covered up, not exposed as they are so blatantly today when personal communications, not meant for public viewing, lead off the night news, thanks to some hacker.

There are guilty pleasures. Then there is the master of guilty pleasures, Darwin Porter. There is nothing like reading him for passing the hours. He is the Nietzsche of Naughtiness, the Goethe of Gossip, the Proust of Pop Culture. Porter knows all the nasty buzz anyone has ever heard whispered in dark bars, dim alleys, and confessional booths. And lovingly, precisely, and in as straightforward a manner as an oncoming train, his prose whacks you between the eyes with the greatest gossip since Kenneth Anger. Some would say better than Anger.

A Word About Phraseologies

Since we at Blood Moon werent privy to long-ago conversations as they were unfolding, we have relied on the memories of our sources for the conversational tone and phraseologies of what weve recorded within the pages of this book.

This writing technique, as it applies to modern biography, has been defined as conversational storytelling by The New York Times, which labeled it as an acceptable literary device for engaging reading.

Blood Moon is not alone in replicating, as remembered dialogues from dead sources. Truman Capote and Norman Mailer were pioneers of direct quotes, and today, they appear in countless other memoirs, ranging from those of Patti Davis to those of the long-time mistress (Verita Thompson) of Humphrey Bogart.

Some people have expressed displeasure in the fact that direct quotes and as remembered dialogue have become a standardsome would say mandatoryfixture in pop culture biographies today.

If that is the case with anyone whos reading this now, they should perhaps turn to other, more traditional and self-consciously scholastic works instead.

Best wishes to all of you, with thanks for your interest in our work.
