About this item
Griffin Dunne’s memoir, "The Friday Afternoon Club," is a captivating journey through his life amidst the glitz and complexity of Hollywood and Manhattan. From a young age, Dunne was immersed in a world of larger-than-life personalities and extraordinary events. His childhood encounters with icons like Sean Connery and experiences at legendary parties hosted by his aunt Joan Didion and uncle John Gregory Dunne paint a vivid backdrop to his upbringing.

Dunne's narrative intertwines humor and poignancy, chronicling pivotal moments such as his expulsion from boarding school and his early adulthood shared with Carrie Fisher in New York City. His career trajectory, from a popcorn concessionaire at Radio City Music Hall to producing and starring in Martin Scorsese's acclaimed film "After Hours," underscores his eclectic journey in the entertainment industry.

However, the memoir's heart lies in the tragic loss of his sister Dominique, a rising Hollywood star whose life was cut short by a brutal crime. Dunne navigates the aftermath of her death, including the notorious trial that shaped his family's trajectory and propelled his father, Dominick Dunne, into a career as a renowned crime reporter and advocate for victims' rights.

"The Friday Afternoon Club" transcends the typical celebrity memoir by delving deeply into the dynamics of Dunne's family. It portrays his loved ones—flawed, compelling, and deeply human—with honesty and compassion. Through Dunne's lens, the memoir becomes a poignant exploration of familial bonds, resilience in the face of tragedy, and the enduring impact of fame and loss.

With eloquence and insight, Dunne captures a panorama of emotions and experiences, celebrating the absurdities and complexities that shaped his life and the lives of those closest to him. It is a testament to resilience and the enduring power of family amidst fame and adversity.
