Father of Frankenstein
Author: Christopher Bram
This novel -- the basis for the critically acclaimed 1998 film Gods and Monsters -- re-creates the last days of film director James Whale, who was found dead in his swimming pool, an apparent suicide, in 1957. — Bram offers sharp insights into the darkly comic sensibility that infuses Whale's two most famous films, Franken...  more » and Bride of Frankenstein, as memories of an impoverished English childhood, the trenches of World War I, and Hollywood studios compete for space in a mind whose defenses have been weakened by a stroke. Written in the fluid present tense of a cinematic treatment, Father of Frankenstein is a powerful evocation of an era before Hollywood celebrities could proclaim anything but domestic heterosexuality to the outside world.
