Beschreibung

Both a spiritual sequel to the New York Times bestseller My Lunches With Orson and an unconventional biography of an equally unconventional artist, My Lunches With Henry Jaglom is a series of constantly surprising freeform conversations between author Daniel Kremer and the independent film maverick behind Eating, Can She Bake a Cherry Pie. , Sitting Ducks, and others. In a lengthy concluding chapter, Kremer conducts a biographical inquiry into Jaglom's work. Complete with fascinating and sometimes even thrilling appendices, as well as a foreword and afterword by two of Jaglom's friends, Candice Bergen and Noah Wyle, My Lunches With Henry Jaglom is a biography that plays much like a loose, improvisatory Jaglom film-which is to say, a biography like no other. "Even if you don't like Jaglom's films, it can't be denied that he was an incredible lunch date and his wild Hollywood tales will make you gasp out loud. This book might hold the record for most celebrity names dropped ever. " - Larry Karaszewski, screenwriter of Ed Wood, The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon "I would consider making a dentist appointment prior to reading. By the time I reached the halfway point - in which Henry Jaglom casually mentions that he was almost cast as the lead in The Graduate, describes how Dennis Hopper attacked him in a restaurant, and reveals that he wrote the famous "hold the chicken" scene in Five Easy Pieces - my jaw had already dropped so many times that I was in serious danger of dislocating it. Everything here has the ring of truth, making this one of the most raucously entertaining texts on Hollywood to come along in many years. " - Brad Stevens, author of Monte Hellman: His Life and Films and Abel Ferrara: The Moral Vision "Daniel Kremer's wonderful book brings a Hollywood outsider to life. Open any page and you'll be quickly immersed in another great story with a supporting cast you can't believe. If you love movies, or stories of people that defy convention, you'll love My Lunches with Henry Jaglom as much as I did. " - Josh Karp, author of Orson Welles's Last Movie and A Futile and Stupid Gesture
