This distinctive book artfully blends fact and fiction in a semi-fictional biography of Alfred Hitchcock. The narrative, set as a conversation between Hitchcock and Cary Grant, unfolds in flashback, echoing Hitchcock's cinematic style.
The story depicts Hitchcock's quest for genuine art in film, exploring unmade projects and conflicts with actors. Personal elements, like weight and food habits, are touched upon without overshadowing the central focus.
