True Confessions by John Gregory Dunne, 1977
John Gregory Dunne, on the other hand, was never a household name. He was a well-known author, literary critic, and screenwriter. He was also married to Joan Didion, who always seemed to be more well-known than he was, despite the fact that they collaborated on several works. So, throughout the course of his career, he created a good body of work before collapsing at the dinner table one night in 2003. Joan created a hugely successful prize-winning book on her grief over his death.
True Confessions was released in 1977, in the midst of his career. In the early 1980s, it was adapted into a very fine film starring Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall. In addition, few individuals have heard of the film. The plot revolves around two brothers, a priest and a detective, as well as some murder and mayhem. Search for topics such as right and wrong, hypocrisy, bravery, corruption, graft, and redemption. Slowly read it.
