Longtime Hudson Valley resident Dunne could have gotten away with publishing something gossipy and superficial; the son of Dominick Dunne, his childhood was spent rubbing elbows with eminently recognizable names: Sean Connery rescued him from drowning at age eight and he shared an apartment with Carrie Fisher while she filmed Star Wars. In his new memoir, The Friday Afternoon Club, Dunne shares his family chronicle with merit even for those who don’t give a tinker’s damn for fame. After a screening of his 2017 documentary about his famous aunt, Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, Dunne will be discussing his book and the Emmy-nominated film. There will be a book signing after the Q&A, with books for sale courtesy of the Chatham Bookstore.
