	Smoking: Join Joe to Quit Now-- Joe Eszterhas
		Joe, you've talked and written a lot over the last year or so about your change of heart about smoking that came after your scary change of health.
		Joe has repeatedly described the better performance with his current voice than was the case of his pre-surgery voice that did not serve him well.
		Eszterhas: I would add when I was trying to stop smoking, my 28-year-old son, who lives in Portland, Ore., and a chain smoker, decided to stop with me. The fact that Steve stopped and that we could discuss our shared misery each day really helped both of us.

	Joe Eszterhas: Hollywood Animal : A Memoir - Bøger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Joe Eszterhas is a complex and paradoxical figure: part outlaw and outsider combined with equal parts romantic and moralist.
		Joe's really in love with himself, and thank God someone is. Joe is the first and only writer in history to deliver projects in a state of complete and total perfection.
		Eszterhas grabs his life story, as well as the story of the hundreds of big-name directors, producers, stars, studio heads, agents, and other people he interacted with over a thirty-year career, and throws it at you in small bite-sized portions, short paragraphs set off by white space, like little sound-bites.

	'Hollywood Animal,' by Joe Eszterhas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The kind of movies that Joe Eszterhas is best known for writing, and the enormous sums of money he made from them, have made it easy to stereotype him as the worst kind of Hollywood hack.
		Eszterhas alternates between these two worlds -- that of a boy learning to grow up in a strange land and that of a man who prospers in an even stranger place, where it never gets cold except in a studio executive's heart and everyone practices make-believe.
		Eszterhas shows off his various personas in a book that proves he can still write well enough to pique our interest and can still get mad at and get even with the people who have crossed him, and that he is willing to expose his own humanity, warts and all.

	Joe Eszterhas By David Plotz
		Eszterhas is the Shakespeare of the Jerry Springer crowd, the eminence greasy of Hollywood.
		Eszterhas' dialogue, delivered by bimbos painted and injected to a fare-thee-well, is an (unintentionally) hilarious parody of porn.
		Eszterhas is "delusional in the sense that he believes that everything he touches is serious," says film critic and historian David Thomson.

	Joe Eszterhas - MSNBC TV: Battle for the White House - MSNBC.com
		ESZTERHAS: Well I was in L.A. a week ago, and I talked to a lot of people, and I was surprised by how warm the response was, and I’ll get into it later if you want, even among studio heads, who said they really, we do have to do something about this.
		ESZTERHAS: All the flies and mosquitoes are swarming on to the trach because of the wetness on the wound.
		ESZTERHAS: Well, I think one of the things that I was struck by was that Joe has the financial wherewithal to go check into some expensive clinic, go into rehab and beat these addictions but he didn’t.

	Amazon.com: American Rhapsody: Books: Joe Eszterhas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Joe Eszterhas's narrative is a torrent of consciousness with no consistent sense of direction, but it all erupts from a plausible organizing principle best articulated in the chapter "Bubba in Pig Heaven": Hollywood is where Clinton really belongs.
		Eszterhas narrates lots of the book and is not an especially skilled reader-- although the ring of authenticity he gives keeps it from being annoying.
		Eszterhas obviously knows more and remembers more than is probably good for him, but his prose is stunning as is the manner by which he weaves the book together- even with some fiction.

	WAG: Joe Eszterhas's Hollywood Animal
		If Eszterhas had given his readers simply this childhood memoir, it would have been a powerful little book, and it would have helped replace the boorish, misogynistic role he’s perceived as playing with some of his louder screenplays.
		Eszterhas is now, he tells us, a churchgoer who, like George W. Bush, believes fervently in prayer and exercise.
		Eszterhas wants us to marvel at his conversion from a wild-man devil to conservative, Midwestern family man. But even with the tiresome Hollywood bragging, we still see his end in his beginning, and his ability to show that to us is the strongest element of Hollywood Animal.

		Eszterhas refers to himself as "insufferable" for coveting success and money, but as the horrifying anecdotes unfold, he mounts a dynamic defense of screenwriters who have been treated like "discarded hookers...
		Eszterhas contrasts memories of life as a poor Hungarian immigrant child with accounts of his increasingly wild and unhinged Hollywood life.
		I'm afraid Eszterhas hurt himself with his brutally self-deprecating title; he sort of invited the sleaziest reviewers to review his book just because they already knew what they were going to say before they skimmed it.

		Eszterhas followed it with Jagged Edge, a slick courtroom thriller that similarly struck a chord with audiences.
		Joe Eszterhas: As I say in Hollywood Animal, the screenwriter has always been at the bottom of the totem pole, going back historically to [F.

		But while critics continue to tear him apart, he always seems to end up with the last laugh--and another big-budget project.
		Clearly, Eszterhas has drawn on his own experience for Telling Lies, though generally, it's quite a mystery where the author gets his inspirations.
