The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood is a 2020 nonfiction book written by Sam Wasson.[1][2][3]
Synopsis
The true story of the making of the film Chinatown.
Critical reception
The Los Angeles Times wrote "Sam Wasson's fascinating and page-turning description of the talent and ideas behind 'Chinatown' is more than a mere biography of a landmark movie; it aims to flesh out the wild and woolly era that incubated it, roughly the late 1960s to the late 1970s, and in this it mostly succeeds."[2]
PopMatters said "The Big Goodbye is a graceful and worthwhile elegy to a time dear to those who are lucky enough to remember it."[4]
