Starlite Memories - Paperback

South Africa's political cartoonist Dov Fedler had the opportunity in the 1980's to make a lifelong dream come true: directing a movie. Not that he had a clue how to - but he wasn't about to let that stop him.

A laugh-out-loud story of pitfalls follows, one with a very serious language barrier and suspicions of criminal activity including one with a Mexican stand-off. Dov also has no idea the apartheid government is subsidizing the film he is directing.

This memoir dives into pop culture past and present, and tales of real people who manage to be larger than life. It also gives a funny, moving portrait of Dov and his family vying to dictate what he can do with his life as a good Jewish son.
