Robert Altman and the Elaboration of Hollywood Storytelling reveals an Altman barely glimpsed in previous critical accounts of the filmmaker. This re-examination of his seminal work during the "New Hollywood" period of the early 1970s (including M*A*S*H, Brewster McCloud, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Images, The Long Goodbye, Thieves Like Us, California Split, and Nashville ) sheds new light on both the films and the filmmaker, reframing Altman as a pragmatic innovator whose work exceeds, but is also grounded in, the norms of classical Hollywood storytelling.
