Sobre este audiolivro

A wide-eyed, tragically earnest small-town boy heads to the glamorous chaos of Hollywood, utterly convinced of his destiny to become a serious dramatic actor. Completely oblivious to his own ridiculousness, he accidentally becomes the biggest comedic sensation of the silent film era. His desperate attempts to convey profound tragedy only generate uproarious laughter from audiences, creating a hilarious and deeply ironic rise to stardom. This biting, affectionate satire rips the curtain back on the absurdities of the early film industry while maintaining a profound empathy for its naive protagonist. It is a classic tale of achieving exactly what you want in the entirely wrong way.
