This panoramic novel is a brilliant romp, a satire of the Golden Age of Hollywood. It is also a romantic adventure. The story begins near the end of World War I and follows silent film star Phillip Inshroin and ambulance driver Lucy Armitage as they pursue their lives and destinies against a kaleidoscope of word events, ending with the arrival of a group of Nazis in Hollywood in 1939. Hix Nix Stix Pix is a mixture of fact and fiction: Albert Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, Sinclair Lewis, the Prince of Wales, and Winston Churchill mingle with Phillip Inshroin and his glittering Hollywood entourage. Their antics are woven around the frightening world events of that period.

Through a montage of offbeat cinematic scenes, David Llewellyn Burdett creates a grandiose picture of hollywood between the two world wars. Exuberantly erotic, with a rich sense of comedy, Hix Nix Stix Pix marks a major literary debut.
