The Friday Afternoon Club: A Family Memoir by Griffin Dunne

Griffin Dunne, having grown up and lived all his life among boldface names, writes with warmth, self-deprecation, and humor. The Friday Afternoon Club is a tale of success and failure, triumph and loss, comedy and tragedy, and it is to the author’s credit that what could easily, in less skilled hands, have become a turgid exercise in name-dropping is instead a moving meditation on family and life’s vicissitudes.
