Ten real people who appear as characters in Sunnyside by Glen David Gold:
- Adolph Zukor, mogul
- Mildred Harris, actress
- ZaSu Pitts, actress
- Mary Pickford, actress
- Lee Duncan, animal trainer
- Charlie Chaplin, actor
- Frances Marion, screenwriter
- Edmund Ironside, general
- Edna Purviance, actress
- William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury
I finished Sunnyside this afternoon, and while I enjoyed it -- especially the references to the Anti-Life Equation (a key element of Jack Kirby's Fourth World) and the Duchy of Grand Fenwick (from the novel and movie The Mouse That Roared), and a minor character named after comics blogger Chris Sims -- I don't think it was as good as his previous novel, Carter Beats the Devil. (Though possibly it's just that I have a taste for the formalized, quasi-nonfiction style he used for Carter.)
