A Story Lately Told
is an autobiographical text that describes the upbringing and struggles of
award winning actress and director, Anjelica Huston. This book was published last year and there
is one entitled Watch Me, which
describes her career and successes. The
book itself is split into three sections: Ireland, London, and New York. Each section contains the events that
happened during her residency in that specific country/city; within each
section are multiple chapters that further break down her life events
chronologically. At the beginning of each chapter there is a photograph of
Huston and other people with a caption of who they are, where the picture was
taken, and what year it occurred. By
providing a picture at each chapter it allows the reader to not only read about
the transitions in her
life but also see how she changed and how her
environment changed. My mother recently purchased this book and it seemed like
it would be interesting, especially since it does not idolize her successes,
rather her struggles. For my past independent reading books I read a memoir and
a research-based book so by reading an autobiography I will be able to capture
more aspects of Huston’s life than done in the memoir. I am excited to see what
type of struggles she endured and how she overcame them. From reading the back
I know that she does not have a strong relationship with her brother, her
parents divorced so she does not contact her father very much, and her mother
died in a car accident. From that I know all of the major disasters in her
life, but I am interested to see what smaller issues will occur throughout her
life. I am also excited to see how she will describe her life and hope that I
will be able to connect and make an emotional investment in her story, |
