UNDISCOVERED
By Debra Winger New York: Simon and Schuster, (2008). First edition, first printing. Fine in a fine illustrated dust jacket. Inscribed and SIGNED by Debra Winger to actor Douglas [Dunning]. "In this lyrical, meditative memoir, film actress Winger (of Urban
Cowboy, Terms of Endearment and others) employs a distinct
voice-whimsical but economic, wise but restless, stylized but warm-to
explore episodes from her life as a mother, daughter and actress. In
short chapters and poems, each engaging and thoughtfully composed, fans
will enjoy a few personal glimpses behind the scenes of her early work,
but movie making isn't the focus: "I love the work and don't much care
for the business." Much of the text is devoted to family, motherhood and
life in the country, but she expounds insightfully on the creative
process and her desire to "light up the shadowy places, translate the
unspoken, and allow it all to live together on the same page."
Illustrations of doors (by famed Twin Towers tightrope walker Philippe
Petit) complement the text nicely, if never directly. Though it's not
for everyone, this slim volume should definitely click with an artistic
or literary audience, and will give unsuspecting moviegoers a surprising
new appreciation for Winger's talents. "--Publisher's Weekly. FREE SHIPPING IN THE USA PLEASE VIEW FOR MORE GREAT SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS! |
