Pure Hollywood -- The hedges -- Species of special concern -- A happy rural seat of various view: Lucinda's garden -- The Duchess of Albany -- Family man -- Where you live? When you need me? -- Burst pods, gone-by, tangled aster -- The Dot sisters -- Oh, the obvious -- The lady from Connecticut.

In one eponymous novella and ten stories, Pure Hollywood brings us into private worlds of corrupt familial love, intimacy, longing, and danger. From an alcoholic widowed actress living in desert seclusion to a young mother whose rejection of her child has terrible consequences, from a newlywed couple who ignore the violent warnings of a painter burned by love to an eerie portrait of erotic obsession, each story is an imagistic snapshot of what it means to live and learn, love and hurt.
