Two of Me: Notes on Living and Leaving
âWhat did I have to lose? I was going to die anyway.âÂ
A terrifying, rare cancer diagnosis prompted Eleanor Coppola to confront her role as the matriarch of an accomplished film family and her creative challenges as an artist late in life. Â
Her new and final book is an honest and revealing posthumous memoir about her struggle to balance her role as a wife and mother and her career as a writer and filmmaker  (including the 1979 book, Notes: On the making of Apocalypse Now, and the 1991 documentary film Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse). Her story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming, and details the final years of her life over periods of creative growth and resilience despite artistic and physical setbacks. Â
With an introduction by Sofia Coppola and an afterword by Alice WatersÂ
Edited by Davia Nelson and Vendela Vida, and designed by Bryan CipollaÂ
