More About This Title A Spectacle of Dust

English

The candid memoirs of a great character actor Steven Spielberg called him "the best actor in the world," about which Postlethwaite said: "I'm sure what Spielberg actually said was, 'the thing about Pete is that he thinks he's the best actor in the world.'" This is the story of a diverse and multi-talented actor's eventful life, told in his own vibrant words as he was at the end of it.

English

Pete Postlethwaite (1945–2011) was a stage and film actor whose films include Aliens 3The Constant Gardener, Inception, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, The Town, The Usual Suspects, and In the Name of the Father, for which was nominated for an Academy Award.

English

"An extrovert, tender, charming and unselfconscious book, with some extraordinary, hell-raising and hair-raising anecdotes. Reading it revived the sadness I had on hearing about his death, particularly the last, remarkable chapter about his final illness."  —Guardian
