       Praise for Turning Right at Hollywood and Vine, previously published as Blacklisting Myself

      “Years ago, I read Roger L. Simon’s first mystery novel, The Big Fix, and I was delighted. Roger was a left liberal then and so was I. Now Roger’s politics and mine have changed, but his gifts as a writer have only grown richer. Blacklisting Myself is a story of Hollywood and America, funny and perceptive at the same time.”

      —Michael Barone, U.S. News & World Report, American Enterprise Institute

      “Rueful, thoughtful, refreshingly direct, and full of juicy inside stories, Roger L. Simon’s memoir is the best and most intimate account of Hollywood’s politics yet published.”

      —John Podhoretz, editor of Commentary

      “When I read Roger L. Simon’s witty and riveting Blacklisting Myself, I felt as if I were reading the memoir of my own lost brother. This indispensable and entertaining book is the first to tell the true story of Hollywood and politics from the perspective of someone who actually lived it.”

      —Ron Silver, actor and activist

      “Anyone who knows Roger Simon knows that he tells great stories about his life in Hollywood before and after 9/11. After becoming what he calls a 9/11 Democrat, Roger discovered that the Hollywood power structure became hostile to its apostates. The former financier of the Black Panther Breakfast Program tells all in his new memoir, with plenty of interesting names included. . . .”

      —HotAir.com

      “The philosopher Diogenes is said to have wandered the streets of Athens with a lamp, looking for an honest man. Had he lived in Hollywood, he’d have needed two searchlights, a pack of bloodhounds, and a net. Or he could have just read Roger L. Simon’s new autobiography.”

      —City Journal

      “. . . alternately funny and sad but [an] always fascinating secondthoughts memoir. . . .”

      —Ronald Radosh, National Review

      “Hollywood memoirs abound, but not many describe The Motorcycle Diaries, a hymn to Che Guevara, as a ‘puerile fantasy,’ compare Stanley Sheinbaum, a key Hollywood politico, to ‘one of Lenin’s useful idiots,’ and question the intelligence of Barbra Streisand. This long overdue memoir is different and deserved.”

      —FrontPageMagazine.com

      “Mr. Simon’s mantra—one shared on Andrew Breitbart’s new rightleaning entertainment industry blog, Big Hollywood—is that conservatives can’t be content to whine about liberal bias in the entertainment industry. Instead, they need to show they can compete in the business by making good movies.”

      —The Washington Times
