My Movie Business: A Memoir by JOHN IRVING - Used Book - Hardcover - 1999 - from Thomas Books and Biblio.com

Note: Cover may not represent actual copy or condition available

Book summary

Irving writes about his adventures in the movie business, including the filming of THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP, the unfilmed screenplays he has written, and--chiefly--the problems he encountered with the filming of THE CIDERHOUSE RULES in 1999.

Media reviews

"This sober, no-nonsense volume offers a scene-by-scene breakdown of the process by which Irving translated his least cinematic-seeming novel...into a shootable screenplay....[P]ractically [a] technical primer for turning novels into movies. A charming, sublimely written technical primer--Irving is a pitch-perfect stylist who could turn a VCR instruction manual into an irresistible page-turner--but a primer just the same."
