High Concept

Don Simpson and the Hollywood Culture of Excess

by Charles Fleming

The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Peter Biskind :
Fleming's tour of the Hollywood inferno is by no means without interest. He has found some gems that will be of great interest to Simpsonologists.... But at the end of the day, as they say in Hollywood, the refusal of the players to play hurts the book. Fleming has to rely too much on the preexisting Simpson literature, too much on laundry lists of barely relevant material documenting the "culture of excess" of the book's subtitle, and endless stories of Simpson's wayward peccadilloes.... Which is a shame, because Simpson's story has a dramatic breadth and complexity of an almost Shakespearean dimension.
