With the jacket photograph by Ted Dayton and typeface Garage Gothic by Frere-Jones Type, Then Again is Diane Keaton’s memoir about her relationship with her mother, who shaped much of Diane’s life. Over the course of her life, Dorothy kept eighty-five journals—literally thousands of pages—in which she wrote about her marriage, her children, her parents, and, most probingly, herself. Diane has sorted through these pages to paint an unflinching portrait of her mother—a woman restless with intellectual and creative energy, struggling to find an outlet for her talents—as well as her entire family, recounting a story that spans four generations and nearly a hundred years.
