A review by itsalexjackman
Straight James / Gay James by James Franco

2.0

In Straight James/Gay James, Franco explores themes of fame, personal identity, public identity, youth duality and sexuality. The title, and the interview/essay it comes from, is seemingly a thesis statement for much of the book - attempting to reconcile the James Franco we know as the public, and the James Franco we will never know as the public. Fans of the artist will enjoy some behind the scenes info on a few of Franco's projects, and may recognize anecdotes that made their way into his other works (most notably Palo Alto). All in all, Straight James / Gay James is another entertaining headscratcher from Hollywood's most mysterious rebel.
