Finishing The True Life Story of Jody McKeegan

As we finish up this novel, I like you to think about some of the following questions:

  • How does Jodie's life before she becomes an actress affect her work on her first film? What does her relationship w/ Glen Duveen have to do w/ her experience in Hollywood? Why does Carpenter spend almost a whole page giving the back story of Duveen (p. 209) when we'll soon never see him again?
  • What is the problem about Harry casting his girlfriend (Jody)?
  • Why is that one sentence set by itself in italics all alone on p. 293?
  • Why does the novel end before the film is finished and released? What do you think happened w/ the film? 
  • Did you remember Jody from A Couple of Comedians (p. 78 etc.)? What is the connection between that novel?
