About this ebook
Joe Crowne is a poor boy from Brooklyn with a burning ambition to write… to be a storyteller.
Thanks to natural street smarts and ruthless ambition, Joe tears himself free from a world of gangsters, drug dealers, prostitutes, and pimps. In his sights is the unmatched glamour of Hollywood… the dolce vita of Europe… and all the glitter and self-indulgence that comes with success. Yet as much as Joe wants fame, excess, and easy sex, he hungers for real love.
The Storyteller is a ticket to the hidden fantasy world of beautiful people, to luxury and desire... it is the story of a brilliant young man whose every American dream came true.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Joe Crown is “The Storyteller”, written by Harold Robbins. It was the year 1942. Joe, born in New York as the son of Jewish parents, wrote spicy stories for indecent magazines. His father runs a kosher chicken market in Manhattan. The turning point came with an appointment with Laura Shelton, agent of an agency. She got two contracts for short stories in decent magazines for him. A Hollywood producer reads this and he became a script writer. He removed together with his cousin Molly which was pregnant from him to L.A.This Harold Robbins book, one of the last, is full of sex and sexual words. The story is good and interesting but the choice of words and the explicit description of getting a »jerk off« or »blowing« and something else is a bit too much. I guess this is not his best.
