He started a journal to keep from going mad, which eventually became \u003cem\u003eThey Went Another Way\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book's through line traces his attempt to get a television project set up in the increasingly Byzantine world of Hollywood. But as he details the project's ups and downs, Kaplan finds himself ruminating not only on show business but also on today's political and social issues, on old movies and TV shows and music, on his family, on his friends, on his past, on his failing heating system, and on all the dead birds that keep showing up in his backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis hilarious and surprisingly moving book is about life—about art, about love, about alienation, about connection, about ugliness and beauty, about disappointment, wonder, and hope.
