Force Majeure was called a "smashing debut novel" by the Kirkus Reviews upon its original publication in 1991. A sardonic and absurdly dark, yet hilarious take on the "business as usual" of Hollywood's twisted class system that proved Bruce Wagner was not just an author, but a cultural anthropologist.

The perpetually up-and-coming Hollywood screenwriter, Bud Wiggins, drifts aimlessly in and out of the lives of others and from one script idea to another. Moonlighting as a limo driver to pay his bills, he finds himself immersed in a world of vanity and degradation.

Wagner infuses his novel with the familiar archetypical characters of Hollywood--a nihilistic producer, an aging film star, an obnoxious mogul--and exposes the madness that drives them all.
