Synopsis:

David Cronenberg is one of the most controversial directors working in the cinema today - few directors in the commercial cinema have been so uncompromising. Specializing in "venereal horror", he has steadily worked his way into the mainstream, culminating in the world-wide success of "The Fly". This volume traces the career of this film-maker from his early fascination with science, through his emerging cinema career, to its culmination is his adaptation of William Burroughs' "The Naked Lunch".

From the Inside Flap: David Cronenberg is Canada's most provocative director. With internationally acclaimed films such as Scanners, The Fly, Dead Ringers and Naked Lunch, he has demonstrated his ability to touch painful nerves and invest his own unique genre with a rare philosophical and emotional intensity. In this stimulating, vivid book--combining memoir, behind-the-scenes movie stories and unsettling and original insights into the traumas of the late 20th century--David Cronenberg reveals the concerns and obsessions which dominate his rich, complex work.
