What’s it about?
Something about Olympia Dukakis just speaks to people. In her
signature straight-talk style, she tells the story of her own history and
career. Olympia Dukakis, internationally known movie and theater star, was born
into a Greek family in Lowell, Massachusetts. As a first generation
Greek-American, Olympia “lived in the hyphen” and struggled to reconcile her
American desires with her family’s old-world traditions. ASK ME AGAIN TOMORROW
tells the story of Olympia’s struggle to find her place as an American, as a
woman and as a star. It specifically explores the relationship between Olympia,
whose main ambition was to live her life exactly as she wanted, and her mother,
who spent a lifetime constrained by a tradition that delegated her to second
class. Like Sidney Poitier’s THIS LIFE and THE MEASURE OF A MAN, this is a book
that is more than a celebrity memoir. ASK ME AGAIN TOMORROW will speak to many
readers who also experienced America as an adopted country; readers interested
in the art of acting; readers interested in autobiography, and particularly to
female readers who have struggled with fitting their own aspirations in with
the needs of family. It is a book that will endure.
