"Wayfaring at Waverly in Silver Lake encompasses friends, relations, and some passersby - as James McCourt cocks a cast eye on the seven deadly sins. Some samples ...".
"In a story evoking pride, fountainhead of the other deadly sins, Hollywood star Kaye Wayfaring, semiretired now atop the Silver Lake Hills, like Marion Davies at San Simeon, is at home during the 1984 Olympics, contemplating the translucent Norma Jean ("Nobody ever went at lines the way she did"), while over at the studio, her colleagues review the highlights of her career, culminating in her scandalous, headline-grabbing Oscar snub.".
"Lust is represented by Kaye, now back in business on location in Ireland, starring as the wanton Irish pirate queen, Granuaile. Kaye is sheathed in the part, waiting for the light, in County Donegal, balancing visions of sacred and profane love, during the first (and always lustful) day of principal photography.".
"Gluttony is personified by Kaye Wayfaring's son, Tristan, in the throes of adolescent meltdown, telling his beloved uncle the demented tale of his cross-country bus trip, forced landing, and rescue by south-of-L.A. beach bums, as he floats in and out of consciousness." "And sin itself, as in "sinfully delicious," is exemplified by James McCourt's new book, Wayfaring at Waverly in Silver Lake, from beginning to end."--BOOK JACKET.
