Hollywood: The Accomplice (originally published as Hollywood'u Kapattığım Gün) argues that Hollywood is the most privileged of American industries because it is the number one accomplice of the mindset that creates the American myth.

This book is a challenge to that illusion, written to make the reader think and to expose the reality behind the "Dream Factory."
