Narration During Books Then Again

Mom loved adages, quotes, slogans. There were always little reminders pasted on the kitchen wall. For example, the word THINK. I found THINK thumbtacked on a bulletin board in her darkroom. I saw it Scotch-taped on a pencil box she’d collaged. I even found a pamphlet titled THINK on her bedside table. Mom liked to THINK.

So begins Diane Keaton’s unforgettable memoir about her mother and herself. In it you will meet the woman known to tens of millions as Annie Hall, but you will also meet, and fall in love with, her mother, the loving, complicated, always-thinking Dorothy Hall. To write about herself, Diane realized she had to write about her mother, too, and how their bond came to define both their lives. In a remarkable act of creation, Diane not only reveals herself to us, she also lets us meet in intimate detail her mother. Over the course of her life, Dorothy kept eighty-five journals—literally thousands of pages—in which she wrote about her marriage, her children, and, most probingly, herself. Dorothy also recorded memorable stories about Diane’s grandparents. Diane has sorted through these pages to paint an unflinching portrait of her mother—a woman restless with intellectual and creative energy, struggling to find an outlet for her talents—as well as her entire family, recounting a story that spans four generations and nearly a hundred years.

More than the autobiography of a legendary actress, Then Again is a book about a very American family with very American dreams. Diane will remind you of yourself, and her bonds with her family will remind you of your own relationships with those you love the most.

Assess About Books Then Again

My last book read was Big Little Lies. I wanted to read it before HBO aired it. Looking through my stack, I saw this memoir of Keaton (and her mother), and she is also appearing in The Young Pope on HBO. I really didn't know much about Diane Keaton and now I perhaps know too much. She needed to add much more background and details to her activities, such as being in Hair. I assumed she took off her clothes, but when I googgled her, it turns out that she was the only cast member that didn't, and

I have to start out by saying that I've never been a particularly big fan of Keaton's acting - maybe I found her too quirky and ditzy, I don't really know - I would still gladly snatch away her 1977 Best Actress Oscar for ANNIE HALL and hand it over to Anne Bancroft, Jane Fonda, or Shirley MacLaine.But Diane Keaton, human being - well, that's something and someone different altogether. This is not your typical 'movie-star memoir,' either of the "and then I filmed..." or "and then I f--ed"

I loved this book. The missing star is probably because it isn't a novel. Diane Keaton has written the most un movie-star autobiography with style and humility and inner reflection. It probably shares more than her mother and her exes would be happy with (does Al Pacino know that she writes down the 6 notes he sent her? They aren't too personal but still....) and sometimes I think she perhaps went a bit too far but the details do lend a reality and poignancy that is rare. This isn't really about

I was very touched by this book, but I think it was especially relevant for me because of the loss of her parents. With regard to whether I would recommend it to friends - I'm not sure if other readers who have not experienced that loss would enjoy it as much, unless they are avid Diane Keaton fans and have an interest in her life. It is an entertaining read though. I especially related to the search for who your parents really were as people, not just your parents, and what their hopes and

This purchase was a guilty pleasure for me. For whatever reason --we're almost the same age? she was living in NYC circa my college years when my now-husband was a student there? she became that teacher ( my profession once) in that nightmarish Goodbar?, that woman in The Good Mother ( both books which I loved)? or simply because she was/is Annie Hall? or, even more timely, because she and Jack Nicholson loved each other in that spectacular setting out on the tip of Long Island which I love to

I'm a big fan of Ms. Keaton, so I was really excited to dive into this memoir. When it began, I thought to myself: "I think I'm really going to like this". Let me preface that I'm usually not a huge fan of memoirs, autobiographies, biographies, or anything that's like reading a timeline from a history textbook. However, when I started "Then Again", I got the impression that Diane was going to tell her life story through the perspective of her mother's life; a concept that I was interested to
