My take....A 1941 novel for Past Offences December meme and fair to say it’s a novel as opposed to a crime novel.We observe Sammy Glicks’ rabid ambition and ruthlessness as he rises from copy boy to Hollywood big-shot, trampling over all in his path, through the eyes of his “friend” Al Manheim. Sammy doesn’t do friendship, but if he ever did Al’s the only one.An interesting observation on Hollywood and the American dream played out to the nth degree. Probably the closest modern comparison, I could make would be Gordon Gekko in Wall Street.Naked feral ambition, lack of a social conscience and lacking totally in any empathy, compassion or consideration for his fellow man – what’s not to like about Sammy? Haha…. you don’t ever totally abhor him, in fact a sneaking admiration for his particular skill-set lingers.Manheim banished from Hollywood after Sammy double-crosses the fledgling writer’s guild eventually discovers the roots of Sammy’s raison d’etre and “what makes him run” in an uncovering of a poverty stricken childhood in a Jewish slum in New York.Eventually Sammy meets his match, when he encounters someone who can run faster than himself.I thought unconsciously, I had been waiting for justice suddenly to rise up and smite him in all its vengeance, secretly hoping to be around when Sammy got what was coming to him; only I had expected something conclusive and fatal and now I realised what was coming to him was not a sudden pay-off but a process, a disease he had caught in the epidemic that swept over his birthplace like plague; a cancer that was slowly eating him away, the symptoms developing and intensifying: success, loneliness, fear. Fear of all the bright young men, the newer, fresher Sammy Glick’s that would spring up to harass him, to threaten him and finally to overtake him..........It was too late to hate him or change him..........Sammy's will had curled in on itself, like an ingrown hair festering, spreading infection.4 from 5Budd Schulberg was an American screenwriter, television producer, novelist and sports writer. He was known for his 1941 novel, What Makes Sammy Run?, his 1947 novel The Harder They Fall, his 1954 Academy Award-winning screenplay for On the Waterfront, and his 1957 screenplay for A Face in the Crowd.Bought copy recently from Amazon.

There aren't many things that make you want to be a worse person.Certain types of drug maybe. Visits to IKEA on a bank holiday weekend. Pop Idol.And Sammy Glick.Sammy Glick is an anti-hero if ever there was one. He slithers his way through the pages of Budd Schulberg's book leaving you with the kind of regard you have for a Piranha fish - you sure wouldn't want to get in the way of one, but damn if it ain't cool the way they can skeletonise a cow in ten seconds flat. He double-crosses his friends, deceives his family, takes advantage of those beneath him. There is nothing, nothing to recommend him as a human being. And yet, without a saving grace in the world, there's no-one I'd rather be than Sammy Glick.The titular question posed by the narrator forms the basis of a life-long fascination, as he plots Sammy's career, from a thrusting young copy boy through the ranks of Hollywood. It becomes almost an anthropological study - as if the narrator was some kind of West Coast Desmond Morris, a witness to the evolution of a new kind of human being, one who ruthlessly and efficiently dispatches all who get in his way.There are plenty of Hollywood exposés. The Player, Sunset Boulevard, Swimming with Sharks, Adventures in the Screen Trade, you name it. But there's something a bit more important about What Makes Sammy Run. A bit more applicable. Because if there's one thing the book teaches you, it's that Sammy Glicks are everywhere. And as a manual for anyone who works for a living, it's invaluable.Chances are you probably know someone like Sammy Glick. Someone so awful, so objectionable, so insidiously evil, that you can't work our just how he or she has managed to stay alive so long. But what's really incredible about people like this is their lack of self perception, the utter inability to behave within the accepted rules and confines of polite society. How can they NOT see that what they're doing is, quite simply wrong? How can they not get it?It's a difficult and disturbing question. How can they just do things their way, and get away with it time and time again, while the rest of us slowly crawl up the waterspout, waiting for the inevitable rainfall that'll wash our itsy-bitsy little lives back down until the sun comes up again?It's wrong, and unfair, and there can only be one terrible, harrowing explanation for it.It's a Sammy Glick world.We're just living in it.

A classic tale told by an accomplished author. Sammy is all around us still today, and still running.
