The Mighty Franks

Résumé du livre

The boundaries of family life are upended in this memoir of the author’s lifelong relationship with his enthralling yet deeply possessive aunt, a powerhouse Hollywood screenwriter whose turbulent nature slowly reveals itself

All his life, Michael Frank was fawned over by his aunt, who was a Hollywood screenwriter in the 1970s. She loved him more than life itself. At first, when he was a young boy, this was a very good thing; he took refuge in her adoration and attention. But things soon turned bad, and her hold on the entire family began to spiral out of control in increasingly unpredictable and volatile ways.
