The instant New York Times bestseller from author, comedian and actor Patton Oswalt, aheartfelt and hilarious (USA TODAY) memoir about coming of age as a performer during the late 1990s while obsessively watching classic films at a legendary theater in Los Angeles.[Oswalt has] a set of synapses like a pinball machine and a prose style to match (The New York Times).Between 1995 and 1999, Patton Oswalt lived with an unshakable addiction. It wasnt drugs, alcohol, or sex it was film. After moving to Los Angeles, Oswalt became a huge film buff (or as he calls it, a sprocket fiend), absorbing classics, cult hits, and new releases at the famous New Beverly Cinema. Silver screen celluloid became Pattons life schoolbook, informing his notion of acting, writing, comedy, and relationships. Set in the nascent days of LAs alternative comedy scene, Silver Screen Fiend chronicles Oswalts journey from fledgling stand-up comedian to self-assured sitcom actor, with the colorful New Beverly collective and a cast of now-notable young comedians supporting him all along the way.Clever and readable...Oswalts encyclopedic knowledge and frothing enthusiasm for films (from sleek noir classics, to gory B movies, to clich-riddled independents, to big empty blockbusters) is relentlessly present, whirring in the background like a projector (The Boston Globe). More than a memoir, this isa love song to the silver screen (Paste Magazine).
