Don´t You Forget About Me: Contemporary Writers on the Films of J

No one captured the teen portion of the eighties as poignantly as writer-director John Hughes. Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller´s Day Off, and Some Kind of Wonderful are timeless tales of love, angst, longing, and self-discovery that illuminated and assuaged the anxieties of an entire generation. Fondly nostalgic, filled with wit and surprising insights, don´t you forget about me contains original essays from a skillfully chosen crop of novelists and essayists on the films´ far-reaching effects on their own lives -- an irresistible read for anyone who came of age in the eighties (or just wishes they did).
