Synopsis

The Purple Rose and Other Essays is a diverse and eclectic collection of autobiographical writings by actor Tim Dalgleish. These pieces move between literature, film, theatre, popular culture and philosophy, always returning to the question of what it means to live and create.
The collection includes essays on:

• Authors such as Jack Kerouac, Ted Hughes and Jack Trevor Story
• Filmmakers Alfred Hitchcock and Anthony Minghella
• Theatre luminaries including Antonin Artaud and lesser-known practitioners such as Peter Sykes of RAT Theatre

Other topics range widely across comics, travel, Valentine’s cards, the desire to be a writer, flamenco guitarist Eduardo Niebla, ghosts, chess, Christianity, and existential reflections on time and the nature of being.
Blending personal experience with cultural commentary, The Purple Rose and Other Essays will appeal to readers who enjoy literary essays, theatre and film writing, and reflective non‑fiction that moves freely between the intimate and the intellectual.
