The Friday Afternoon Club

A Memoir
Book •
Griffin Dunne's "The Friday Afternoon Club" is a poignant memoir exploring his family's complex dynamics, marked by both extraordinary achievements and profound tragedies.

The book delves into the lives of his sister Dominique, a rising actress whose murder profoundly impacted the family; his father Dominick, a journalist whose career was shaped by covering Dominique's case; and his aunt Joan Didion, a literary icon.

Dunne weaves together personal anecdotes, family history, and reflections on fame, grief, and the enduring power of family bonds.

The narrative is a tapestry of humor, heartbreak, and ultimately, acceptance.
