- Summary:
-
“They shared a name, of course, and their physical resemblance was startling. And both Frank Thrings were huge figures in the landscape of the twentieth-century Australian film and theatre. … Peter Fitzpatrick’s compelling dual biography tells the story of two remarkable characters. … following the tracks of two men who did all they could to cover their tracks, and to conceal ‘the self’: Frank the father used secrecy and slight-of-hand as strategies for self-protection; Frank the son masked a thoroughly reclusive personality with flamboyant self-parody. It’s also a the tale of a lost relationship – and of the power a father may have had, even over a son who hardly knew him.”--Back cover.
