Finally. Not my favorite narrative, but very insightful of the modern era in literature. Some passages are just divine and the perspective of the young artist wanting to break free from the convention of family and religion.
SO GOOD! I ate it up in 2 days! It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think that there is 'life' after death and that it really is quality over quantity. It reminded me of the 5 People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom.
Same review I just wrote for the first book, "Double Exposure." This has been on my shelf for years and I recently took it down to look at it and read it all over again. I just love it. It's actually a book/album of photography by the late actor, Roddy McDowall. Most of the shots are very informal... of people who were his friends... and also happen to be important or famous. With each portrait is a passage written by a contemporary of the person pictured. Other important/famous people comment on the pictured person's life, career, etc... Not only are the photos fascinating, but what is written... and by who... is just as fabulous. Some people write a lot. Some people write a little. Some make up poetry. It's really across the board. If you're a fan of classic Hollywood... this is a must. I had forgotten how much I loved this book!
