Title: Condemned out of her own mouth
Review: This book is really not good. I am very interested in the blacklist period and screenwriting - despite the title this book does an awful job of telling you anything about those things.All you learn about is Norma Barzman herself, and even though you only hear her side of the story, by the middle of her book you come to hate her, condemned out of her own mouth as a self-obsessed hypocrite.How is she a hyprocrite? She's a supposed "communist" living in luxury in a South of France estate, employing servants to raise her kids.She's a wife who shags all her loyal husband's friends behind his back.She's someone who to this day calls herself a screenwriter when she has only one produced screenplay to her name, a 1953 Italian B-movie. She was shagging the friend of her husband who agreed to produce it.It's a very irritating book, and really is best avoided.
