Quando stare su un palcoscenico ha il potere di snudare i sentimenti come un infallibile siero della verità; quando assumere un ruolo significa incarnarlo, recitare coincide col diventare sé stessi; quando mettere il sale sulle ferite serve ad attraversare il proprio dolore fino a raggiungerne l’origine. His debut Broadway role offers him a chance at redemption and turns this bracing book into a considered meditation on the evil of celebrity and the demanding yet restorative power of theatre. I don't know about the much part, and I'm even iffy on the better part, but not a total loss, and, Hey Mikey! If you can ignore the author’s motive for creating such a sensitive and endearing cad, you’ll find here a novel that explores the demands of acting and the delusions of manhood with tremendous verve and insight.This recycled gossip is tiresome, but what’s most irritating about “ A Bright Ray of Darkness” is that it’s really good.

We don't often have the chance to get 'inside the mind' of a celebrity, and its far different from what we assume. I want to be immune to Hawke’s charms, but I admit it: He’s written a witty, wise and heartfelt novel about a spoiled young man growing up and becoming, haltingly, a better person. Es gibt keinen Charakter, der in der Geschichte verschwendet wird, und jeder hat seine Zeilen in der Geschichte verdient. He must examine himself, and who he has become, under the brightest of lights and the keenest of eyes.Remarkables REMARKABLES Intriguing, stunning, or otherwise remarkable books These include fine editions, foreign publications that are exceptional for their interest or production, special editions and some first-rate books from very small publishers. I wish I had a dollar for every self-indulgent, white, male, narcissistic, misogynist protagonist I’m supposed to find sympathetic because they’re an “artist. A Bright Ray of Darkness, is an unhinged story of a famous actor married to a rock star at the cusp of divorce. William Harding, celebre attore, trentadue anni, sale alla ribalta del gossip internazionale per avere tradito la moglie, rockstar ancora più famosa di lui. Not many novels combine scenes of lying semi-conscious by a motel toilet with thoughts on the perfection of the iambic pentameter.

If I read one more line about a woman’s “giant heaving breasts”, I may have thrown the book in the bonfire. There’s a section where the director lands his opening spiel on the cast as they gather together for the first time, I found it astounding in its power and impact. This reads like Kerouac fan fiction, the kind of crap that only got published because the author is famous. The kids in it are particularly unrealistic like the author never had a daughter who ended up on Stranger Things or, frankly has ever even listened to children. And then there’s the play, in which he’s to act the part of Sir Henry Percy (known as Hotspur), a role Hawke himself played on stage back in 2003.Dass die Theaterproduktion und die Proben so detailliert in der Geschichte erfasst wurden, fand ich fantastisch und hat geholfen die Mentalität eines Schauspielers zu verstehen. As much as everybody around William regards him as a royal ass, we — his intimate confessors — know that he’s a hopeless romantic, hurt and confused, baffled that love can turn sour so quickly. I gathered that all my cast mates were weak-minded morons who spent the night online reading about our show.
