Synopsis
Prism and Ken
$19.99
Published by Methuen
In Prism we see legendary cinematic master Jack Cardiff retire to the sleepy village in Buckinghamshire
His days of hard work - and play on some of the most famous sets in the world are now long behind him
As are his secret liaisons with some of the most famous women in the world
Surrounded by memorabilia from a lifetime of 'painting with light', the writing of an autobiography should be an easy matter
Were it not for the fact that Jack would now rather live in the past than remember it
Ken is set in 1978 and sees an aspiring young playwright wrestle with a play for the Royal Court
The phone rings
The man on the other end is called Ken
And he's about to teach our hero the pleasures and perils of serendipity
