Then
Again By Diane Keaton
Diane
Keaton to me has always represented a strong female. A bit eccentric, a bit
quirky, a bit insecure but she definitely has a strong presence. This book definitely confirms that. She writes
the book as if she is sitting on your couch having a conversation with you.
Her book starts with her talking about
how important and influential her mother was to her. I think I can safely say that mothers are
extremely influential in their children’s life.
I think more so with females but I could be wrong. How they influence
their children can be good, bad or good and bad. So what she says right in the beginning is
that the memoir she has written is not just hers, but hers and her Mom’s. She
uses her Mom’s journals (her Mom was a very prolific journal writer) and
intertwines them with own story and insights.
In
addition to talking about family she talks about other people who she was
influenced by namely Woody Allen, Warren Beatty and Al Pacino. There are
certainly others as well. While this is not the best writing in the world, the
book certainly reflects the essence of Diane Keaton and I found her story to be
very interesting.
