Pandering by Heidi Fleiss. This large-format book is comprised of notes, clippings and photos regarding Heidi Fleiss' rise and fall as a Hollywood 'Madam'. The book is made up of pages which appear like articles found in the tabloids and gossip magazines. The author states that "this is a book about memory, style, culture, and politics…the pictures and clippings provide the context, so that the truth of those time scan live on. It's now up to history to judge me - for the way I was, and the way I have lived." The facts of the book are established through court records, wiretap transcripts, and news clipping. The author acknowledges in the preference for the book that "the stories are told as I remember them". The book (published 2002) was written over ten years after Fleiss' arrest. The book contains a timeline of notable events in Fleiss' life, with focus on her relationship with Hollywood insiders (which she does not name explicitly).
