Description

On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by actor, producer and director Griffin Dunne to talk about his remarkable new memoir, The Friday Afternoon Club. You know Griffin's work as producer and actor in After Hours; director of Practical Magic and of the documentary The Center Will Not Hold about his aunt, Joan Didion. 
The son of Dominick and Ellen Dunne and nephew of Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, Griffin grew up among literary superstars. His memoir brims with anecdotes about Hollywood’s most dazzling characters: Sean Connery, Janis Joplin, Tom Wolfe, Carrie Fisher, and many more. Griffin and his family found hope even in the darkest of circumstances after the murder of his beloved sister, Dominique. In this episode, Griffin unpacks the absurd, hilarious and heartbreaking stories of his memoir and the love and humor that sustained his family.
