Not just the obvious ones like Mickey Rourke, Barbet Schroeder and Faye Dunaway; but the cameo appearances of David Lynch and Isabella Rossellini and, I think, Sean Penn. There are others I could name, if only I had the will to back through it. Perhaps someone, someday, ought to annotate this novel, save the rest of the trouble. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/395634?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
