The actors in James Francorsquo;s brilliant debut novel include a McDonaldrsquo;s drive-thru operator who spends his shift trying on accents; an ex-child star recalling a massive beachside bacchanal; hospital volunteers and Midwestern transplants; a vampire flick starlet who discovers a cryptic book written by a famous actor gone AWOL; and the ghost of River Phoenix. Then therersquo;s Franco himself; who prowls backstage; peering out between the linesmdash;before taking the stage with fascinating meditations on his art; along with nightmarish tales of excess. ldquo;Hollywood has always been a private club;rdquo; he writes. ldquo;I open the gates. I say welcome. I say; Look inside.rdquo;Told in a dizzying array of stylesmdash;from lyric essays and disarming testimonials to hilariously rambling text messages and ghostly footnotesmdash;and loosely modeled on Alcoholics Anonymousrsquo;s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions; Actors Anonymous is an intense; wild ride into the dark heart of celebrity.
