For more than thirty years, David Cronenberg has made independent
films such as "Scanners" and "A History of Violence" which aim to
disturb, surprise, and challenge audiences. He has also repeatedly
drawn on literary fiction for inspiration, adapting themes from
authors like William Burroughs, J. G. Ballard, and Patrick McGrath
for the big screen; "David Cronenberg: Author or Filmmaker?" is the
first book to explore how underground and mainstream fiction have
influenced--and can help illuminate--his labyrinthine films.
Film scholar Mark Browning examines Cronenberg's literary aesthetic
not only in relation to his films' obvious source material, but by
comparing his movies to the writings of Vladimir Nabokov, Angela
Carter, and Bret Easton Ellis. This groundbreaking volume addresses
Cronenberg's narrative structures and his unique conception of
auteurism, as well as his films' shocking psychological frameworks,
all in the broader context of film adaptation studies. "David
Cronenberg" is an essential read for anyone interested in the
symbiotic relationship between literature and filmmaking. ""David
Cronenberg" is a work that attempts to illuminate and unravel the
connection between the great Canadian auteur and his literary
influences."--"Film Snob Weekly""" ""David Cronenberg" is an
essential read for anyone interested in the symbiotic relationship
between literature and filmmaking."--"Video Canada"""
