The Ghost of Carlos Gardel - E-book - ePub

A novel about movies, music, and doing it yourself. It takes a village to make a movie. Andy Martin started the ball rolling with a photo shoot starring a long-lost Argentinean friend-of-a-friend and a few other tangueros. Writer Tanith Salazar, invited to sit in, was still scribbling notes after everyone else had left. Before too long she was writing a treatment, which eventually became a screenplay about the great tango composer and singer Carlos Gardel.
A vehicle for Andy's husband Victor Garcia, with a lot of music, a lot of dancing, and generally a lot of potential to be a total flop. They did it anyway: made the movie they wanted to make, with a cast of old and new friends. Andy and Victor were as much in love as ever, but their work on a TV cop show (and the never-ending controversy about their characters) was getting to them. Along the way to premiere night, their community - and their relationship - went through some changes.
It would take every one of their friends to pull them through. Adult situations, themes, and language. 87, 600 words, a M/M love story, and a happy ending.
