TIME FLIES TOO

Time Flies Too is the sequel to 2021's beguiling and absorbing memoir Time Flies by Al Clark, who in its last paragraph married and settled in Australia after a Spanish village childhood, a Scottish boarding school education and nearly two decades of living and working in London in the pioneering days of Virgin Records. These new recollections playfully explore his adjustment to life in a new country, the labyrinth involved in making films, the gifted collaborators he encountered along the way, and the work itself -- notably one of Australia's most enduringly successful movies (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert ). It completes the journey of a solitary boy who fell in love with cinema, and of the man who strove to bring it to life. 'Beautifully written, hugely entertaining, Clark's amazing adventures in the movie business are masterfully woven into a grand story of love and family.' -- Richard Kuipers, Variety 'A warm-hearted, witty and insightful page turner from one of Australia's leading producers, sharing the highs and lows and the behind-the-scenes dramas of some of our most loved and respected films. A tale of optimism and ingenuity.' -- Jan Chapman 'Al Clark's second volume of memoirs is a high-octane read. His wild ride through the rough and tumble of Australian filmmaking is exhilarating.' -- Ana Kokkinos
