My Jedi Memoir - A Double Life

"I used to skip class to read James Kahn's books. What will you do?"

- John Scalzi. Author, "Old Man's War"

JAMES KAHN spent the 1980's and 1990's writing for Hollywood and working as an emergency room doctor. His memories of those times provide the fodder for these crazy, funny, poignant, outrageous, surreal, revealing tales.

He also goes in depth about his writing of some of the biggest novelizations of the decade - Poltergeist, The Goonies, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom; and especially Return of the Jedi - for which he provides a scene by scene exegesis, exploring the entire novel.

Accompanied by scans of original manuscript pages, this is a never before seen window into the creative process that went into the writing of the classic Jedi novel.
