IN MY FATHER’S SHADOW: A DAUGHTER REMEMBERS ORSON WELLES

Book ID/图书代码： 14560010B34858

English Summary/英文概要： Out of all the many stars and celebrities Hollywood has produced, only a handful have achieved the fame—and, some would say, infamy—of Orson Welles, the creator and star of what is arguably the greatest American film, Citizen Kane. Many books have been written about him, detailing his achievements as an artist as well his foibles as a human being. None of them, however, has gotten so close to the real man as does Chris Welles Feder’s beautifully realized portrait of her father.

In My Father’s Shadow is a classic story of a life lived in the public eye, told with affection and the wide-eyed wonder of a daughter who never stopped believing that someday she would truly know and understand her elusive and larger-than-life father. The result is a moving and insightful look at life in the shadow of a legendary figure and an immensely entertaining story of growing up in the unreal reality of Hollywood, enhanced by Welles Feder’s collection of many never-before-seen family photographs.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： --活在父親的庇蔭下，我該怎麼得到自由﹖

好萊塢造就了許多明星和名人，而只有很少一部分名副其實，甚至有些聲名狼藉。奧森·威爾士（Orson Welles）是美國電影偉作《公民凱恩》（Citizen Kane）的創造者。已經有許多書寫關於他作為藝術家的成就和作為常人的秉性。但是，沒有人能像克麗絲·威爾士·費德（Chris Welles Feder）那樣真實地傳達父親的神韻。
《生長在我父親的光環之下》（In My Father’s Shadow）是一部經典故事，記錄了奧森公眾眼中的生活，情感豐富，以一個女兒的角度一直深信有朝一日她可以瞭解和理解父親的生活。結果很感人，這是一個成長于好萊塢非現實的世界的娛樂故事，收錄了奧森女兒許多從未曝光的家庭合影。 (XJJ & SL)

Awards/获奖情况：獲獎情況介紹：
Feder, the daughter of Orson Welles and his first wife, Virginia, tells the story of her search for a relationship with her famous father as well as creating an independent identity through a childhood and adolescence influenced by a list of affectionate guardians and brilliant but dysfunctional grownups. The latter category included her own parents: the author was still a child when they separated and her father married Rita Hayworth; her mother, meanwhile, went on to her own second and third marriages. Feder found affection at times, but it was her years in Illinois with her father’s former headmaster and the headmaster’s wife that provided her first experience of domestic stability. Her peripatetic life resumed, however, while her father arrived irregularly for extended one-on-one visits that shaped his daughter’s budding intellect, but left her hungry for a deeper, more permanent connection. Her story conveys a powerful, intimate sense of Welles’s creative struggles and her own part in preserving his artistic legacy.
