More Description"Cinema is one of the recurring themes in Raphael Rubinstein's first collection of prose. Legendary French directors Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Eustache are the subjects of diaristic sequences; another story delves into the suspicious career of an elusive leftist film maker, "A Cameo" ponders why a wealthy Italian terrorist once posed for a photo with Alfred Hitchcock. Touching down in New York, Milan, Mexico City and the Balearic Islands, these lucid narratives explore private and public realms. The book culminates with a montagelike inventory of diverse objects, seemingly chosen at random, through which the author examines his own life and family history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
