All His Sons

Casting a satirical eye on the business of movie-making, this collection's title novella follows two very different brothers, each working in opposite ends of the film industry, who uncover shocking family secrets after their father mysteriously dies. A French film producer attempts to humiliate an American director in “Who Whom?” while “The Siren’s Song” tells the tale of a Greek sailor’s rise and fall—which turn out to be one and the same. In “God and Mammon,” a hot young novelist whose work is revered for its honesty and vulgarity writes a dishonest screenplay of his novel.
