520    Blending memoir and cultural criticism, Matthew Specktor 
       explores family legacy, the lives of artists, and a city 
       that embodies both dreams and disillusionment. In 2006, 
       Matthew Specktor moved into a crumbling Los Angeles 
       apartment opposite the one in which F. Scott Fitzgerald 
       spent the last moments of his life. Fitz had been 
       Specktor's first literary idol, someone whose own passage 
       through Hollywood had, allegedly, broken him. Freshly 
       divorced, professionally flailing, and reeling from his 
       mother's cancer diagnosis, Specktor was feeling unmoored. 
       But rather than giving in or "cracking up," he embarked on
       an obsessive journey to make sense of the mythologies of 
       "success" and "failure" that haunt the artist's life and 
       the American imagination. Part memoir, part cultural 
       history, part portrait of a place, Always Crashing in the 
       Same Car explores Hollywood through a certain kind of 
       collapse. It's a vibrant and intimate inspection of 
       failure told through the lives of iconic, if under-sung, 
       artists-Carole Eastman, Eleanor Perry, Warren Zevon, 
       Tuesday Weld, and Hal Ashby, among others-and the author's
       own family history. Through this constellation of 
       Hollywood figures, he unearths a fascinating alternate 
       history of the city that raised him and explores how 
       curtailed ambition, insufficiency, and loss shape all our 
       lives.
