Summary
Writer Keith Fleming and editor Rudy Behlmer on this edition of Fresh Air. Fleming talks about his first book, a memoir, The Boy with the Thorn in His Side. When Fleming was a teenager, he was living in Chicago, depressed, and was committed to a string of mental institutions. Then his mother sent him to New York to live with his young, gay uncle, the critically acclaimed novelist and biographer Edmund White. The move and his uncle's influence transformed his life. Now, Fleming is a freelance editor and writer living in Providence, Rhode Island.
And, Behlmer is the editor of Memo from David O. Selznick, a new collection of the producer's private letters, telegrams, and memos. The making of Gone with the Wind and other film classics are documented in this revealing look at the movie business in its early years. This book is part of a series of film books being reprinted by Martin Scorsese. (Broadcast Date: May 15, 2000)
