Historically, short stories were a rich source of successful movies and significant films. Classics such asRear Window, High Noon, Psycho, All About Eve, andBlade Runner began as short stories. Unfortunately, many of the major venues for discovering new talent--The Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, andMademoiselle--are gone. Today, short stories are again becoming an important basis for major motion pictures and television, with films such asBrokebackMountain, Good Will Hunting, andMinority Report. One reason short stories are making a Hollywood comeback is Next Stop Hollywood, an organization dedicated to finding both new talent and terrific material. This volume, selected by more than sixty movie-buff readers and advised by an editorial board of Hollywood insiders, picks up where those magazines left off. These very same stories may be at a theater near you in the near future. For anyone who has been disappointed by the movies of our day compared to those of the Golden Era of Hollywood, refresh yourself with these exciting short stories, and the possibilities they hold.

Perry has a narrative style and mastery of dialogue as smooth as the best of 'em. His characters come right off the page and into the reader's mind within a matter of paragraphs, and words (as challenge rather than as facilitator to the sheer enjoyment of the story) disappear within seconds. Higher praise I couldn't pay to any writer worth his nom or his plume.
If Perry's stories are any indication of the general tenor of the book, I very much look forward to reading the rest of it. ( )
