The instant New York Times bestseller from author, comedian, and actor Patton Oswalt, a “heartfelt and hilarious” (USA TODAY) memoir for film lovers about coming of age as a performer in the 1990s Los Angeles comedy scene while obsessively watching classic and cult films at the legendary New Beverly Cinema. “[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 wasn’t drugs, alcohol, or sex: it was film. After moving to Los Angeles, Oswalt became a huge cinephile (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 Patton’s life schoolbook, informing his notion of acting, writing, comedy, and relationships.

Set in the nascent days of Los Angeles’s alternative comedy scene, Silver Screen Fiend chronicles Oswalt’s 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...Oswalt’s encyclopedic knowledge and frothing enthusiasm for films (from sleek noir classics, to gory B movies, to cliché-riddled independents, to big empty blockbusters) is relentlessly present, whirring in the background like a projector” (The Boston Globe). More than a memoir, this is “a love song to the silver screen” (Paste Magazine).

I quite enjoyed spending some time with Patton and know I'd find him and infectious presence in real life. The book is quite slim and at times feels a little overwritten, but his passion for film is something we share and was a joy to feel in good company. His section on the night cafe was a night cafe moment in itself and changed the way I think about my own life and the cause and effect of all things. With moments like this its hard not to forgive any shortcomings. I look f

Pretty solid.
