The autobiography-of-sorts of Andre Gregory, an iconic figure in
American theater and the star of My Dinner with Andre This Is Not
My Memoir tells the life story of Andre Gregory, iconic theater
director, writer, and actor. For the first time, Andre shares
memories from a life lived for art, including stories from the
making of My Dinner with Andre. Taking on the dizzying, wondrous
nature of a fever dream, This Is Not My Memoir includes fantastic
and fantastical stories that take the reader from wartime Paris to
golden-age Hollywood, from avant-garde theaters to monasteries in
India. Along the way we meet Jerzy Grotowski, Helene Weigel,
Gregory Peck, Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, Wallace Shawn, and many
other larger-than-life personalities. This Is Not My Memoir is a
collaboration between Andre and Todd London, who together create a
portrait of an artist confronting his later years. Here, too, are
the reflections of a man who only recently learned how to love.
What does it mean to create art in a world that often places little
value on the process of creating it? And what does it mean to
confront the process of aging when your greatest work of art may
well be your own life?
