  Dominick Dunne is a demagogue.
Dominick Dunne has carved out a reputation as the chronicler of the criminal entanglements of the rich and the famous, but this former Hollywood producer turned pop novelist, is a writer of fiction and like all writers of fiction, Dominick Dunne fabricates a reality which has absolutely nothing to do with the truth.
Dominick Dunne measures his success, not by the integrity and the intelligence which is required to adjudicate in a reasonable manner, but by the joy of skewering his real-life targets, to create the impression that his fiction is "a somebody".
When Dominick Dunne was passed a stolen copy of a private detective's report on the murder of Martha Moxley, Lucianne Goldberg called and invariably steered him in the right direction, the way she steered Linda Tripp when she wanted to use a consensual sexual relationship to destrpy the President of the United States.

 ANOTHER CITY, NOT MY OWN. By Dominick Dunne
Dunne, a best-selling author who was granted a permanent seat in the courtroom by Judge Lance Ito, filled his "letters" with inside information about the trial along with a lot of celebrity name-dropping.
Instead of producing a nonfiction book about the trial, Dunne decided to write "a novel in the form of a memoir." The result is a strange mix of fact and fiction that includes the trial's full cast of characters except Dunne, who has renamed himself Gus Bailey.
Dunne loses what little credibility he has at the end of his book when he makes Cunanan the centerpiece of a bloody confrontation that leaves the reader with a creepy feeling.
