The Future Was Color

Set against the backdrop of 1950s Hollywood, "The Future Was Color" explores the life of Hungarian immigrant George Curtis as he navigates the era’s tense social and political landscape, including the McCarthy-era studio system and hidden aspects of postwar society. When a celebrity offers him a chance to work on meaningful political writing at her Malibu estate, George is drawn into a world that exposes the darker truths lurking behind the glamor. Spanning locales from Los Angeles to New York and the Nevada desert, the novel delves into themes of reinvention, art, and the lingering shadows of history and trauma.
