Then Again

Then Again (2011) by Diane Keaton. Keaton has chosen to write about herself, and equally about her mother. She seems to think that a knowledge of her mother is essential to a knowledge of herself. And maybe it is. What is missing from this book is any good dish about Woody Allen, Warren Beatty and Al Pacino, three famous film-world personalities whom Keaton had relationships with at some times during her adult life. I'd like to have heard more about them and less about Diane's mother. But that's not what she chose to write. What she did write is pretty entertaining in its own way, but is not top-notch autobiography. Grade: B
