The actors in James Franco’s brilliant debut novel include a
McDonald’s drive-thru operator who spends his shift trying
on accents; an ex-child star recalling a massive beachside
bacchanal; hospital volunteers and Midwestern transplants; a
vampire flick starlet who discovers a cryptic book written
by a famous actor gone AWOL; and the ghost of River Phoenix.
Then there’s Franco himself, who prowls backstage, peering
out between the lines—before taking the stage with
fascinating meditations on his art, along with nightmarish
tales of excess. “Hollywood has always been a private club,”
he writes. “I open the gates. I say welcome. I say, Look
inside.”
Told in a dizzying array of
styles—from lyric essays and disarming testimonials to
hilariously rambling text messages and ghostly footnotes—and
loosely modeled on Alcoholics Anonymous’s Twelve Steps
and Twelve Traditions, Actors Anonymous is an intense,
wild ride into the dark heart of celebrity.
