The Film Club: a True Story of a Father and Son
By David Gilmour
David Gilmour's book The Film Club: A True Story of a Father and Son
is an unsentimental but loving portrait of his relationship with his
son Jesse.
Thomas Allen Publishers, $27.95

"David Gilmour has both a talent and a compulsion for putting the
characters in his novels into embarrassing situations. In his memoir
The Film Club, a finalist for this year's Charles Taylor prize for
literary non-fiction, he skips the middleman and just embarrasses
himself."
[Matt's comment: he doesn't embarrass himself with his opinion on Ishtar]
Gilmour's opinions -- on Marlon Brando's innate genius; on David
Cronenberg, "a smart guy with a dirty mind;" on Ishtar, underrated --
provide The Film Club with a lively running commentary.
[No wonder his kid pulled out of his slump and went on to university!]
