From
the back cover
“The
volume charts David Cronenberg’s development from The Brood to Naked Lunch,
demonstrating how he has invested his own developing genre with seriousness, a
philosophical dimension and a rare emotional intensity, and reveals the
concerns which continue to dominate his increasingly rich and complex work.
“This
edition also includes a new section on Cronenberg’s most recent film, M. Butterfly.”
Review
This
is an excellent nonfiction Cronenberg-related read, one of my favorite books
read this year. Hearing the auteur talk about his motivations, themes,
technique and other stuff related to his cinematic art is consistently
interesting (in a good way) and inspiring, even with the intense and sometimes
grim elements his work traffics in. If you are a Cronenberg fan, this is a book
you should read, if not own.
