In the Summer of My Life

"In the Summer of My Life,” is David Guillen’s second book of autobiography. In it the author recalls his time in Hollywood in the 1950’s, and the hedonistic lifestyle of young hopefuls like himself hoping for a break in the town’s glamorous industry. He revisits his old drama school and recalls the acting classes, the voice lessons, the student camaraderie, the Saturday night parties, the auditions, the temporary jobs, the lonely times and the constant struggle to survive. And then one day he meets a pretty English girl with blue eyes and a dimpled smile and his days in the wilderness are over.
