All His Sons — Frederic Raphael

Casting a satirical eye on the business of movie-making, this collection's title novella follows two very different brothers, each working in opposite ends of the film industry, who uncover shocking family secrets after their father mysteriously dies. A French film producer attempts to humiliate an American director in �"Who Whom?” while �"The Siren's Song” tells the tale of a Greek sailor's rise and fall� -- which turn out to be one and the same. In �"God and Mammon,” a hot young novelist whose work is revered for its honesty and vulgarity writes a dishonest screenplay of his novel.
