"Body Double explores the myriad ways that film artists have represented the creative
process. In this highly innovative work, Lucy Fischer draws on a neglected element
of auteur studies to show that filmmakers frequently raise questions about the paradoxes
of authorship by portraying the onscreen writer. Dealing with such varied topics as
the icon of the typewriter, the case of the writer/director, the authoress, and the
omnipresent infirm author, she probes the ways in which films can tell a plausible
story while contemplating the conditions and theories of their making. By examining
many forms of cinema, from Hollywood and the international art cinema to the avant-garde,
Fischer considers the gender, age, and mental or physical health of fictionalized
writers; the dramatized interaction between artists and their audiences and critics;
and the formal play of written words and nonverbal images. By analyzing such movies
as Adaptation, Diary of a Country Priest, Naked Lunch, American Splendor, and Irezumi,
Fischer tracks the parallels between film author and character, looking not for the
creative figure who stands outside the text, but for the one who stands within it
as corporeal presence and alter-ego."--Publisher's website
