Items related to Fools Die
From the blockbuster author of The Godfather comes this bold international best-seller about the feverish world of a big-time gambler.
Merlyn and his brother, Artie, obey their own code of honor in the ferment of contemporary America, where law and organized crime are one and the same. Set within America's golden triangle of corruption and excess--New York, Hollywood, Las Vegas--the novel plunges into the glittering and ruthless worlds of gambling, publishing, and the film industry, where greed, lust, and violence hold sway. As high rollers, hustlers, and scheming manipulators use power, sex, and betrayal to win, the strongest survive--but fools die.

About the Author:
MARIO PUZO (1920-1999) was born in ''Hell's Kitchen'' on Manhattan's West Side, New York City. Following military service in World War II, he attended New York's New School for Social Research and Columbia University. In addition to his best-known novel, The Godfather, and other books, he wrote several screenplays including Superman and all three Godfather movies, for which he received two Academy Awards.
From AudioFile:
Gardner dramatizes this analysis of the weak, sinful side of an essentially good person. Reading briskly with a slight nasal tone, Gardner brings realism to this novel about flawed choices in life. Amid the glitter and glamour of Las Vegas, New York City, and Hollywood, Merlyn the magician, Osano, Artie, and Janelle battle their own indulgences and watch others become consumed by lust, power or violence. Gardner barely differentiates gender but uses pacing, accents and intonation to differentiate the many male characters. S.C.A.
