AND I EDITED THIS BOOK ON ONE OF MY FAVORITE DIRECTORS
David Cronenberg: Interviews can be yours.
Molly Haskell likes it: “This brainy, deep dive into Cronenberg by interviewers who are more than up to the task, covers the director's background, his literary as well as cinematic tastes, analyses of the individual films, all without a wasted word. A must not just for Cronenberg fans but for movie lovers in general.”
