Steve Erikson's Zeroville is an homage to Film, with a capital F. Here is an extraordinary exploration of film-making and film-makers, through the eyes of a young man obsessed with Film. Yes, he has Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift, from A Place in the Sun, tatooed on his shaved head. Zeroville has a clever structure and plot. It is also filled with fascinating characters and wonderful insights into great movie making. The title is from Godard's ground breaking film, Alphaville. Erikson's writing is edgy, without going over the edge, a big plus among young writers today.
