<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The Academy Award-winning screenplay of "a drama of surpassing beauty" (<i>Wall Street Journal</i>)</b> <p/> Kenneth Lonergan's Academy Award and BAFTA-winning screenplay for the acclaimed film <i>Manchester by the Sea </i>is a staggering achievement and an emotionally devastating meditation on grief. <br> Lee Chandler is a brooding, irritable loner who works as a handyman in Boston. One damp winter day he gets a call summoning him to his hometown, Manchester-by-the-Sea, the fishing village where his working-class family has lived for generations. His brother's heart has given out suddenly, and he's been named guardian to his riotous 16-year-old nephew. His return re-opens an unspeakable tragedy, as he is forced to confront a past that separated him from his wife, Randi, and the community where he was born and raised. A sweeping story of loss and new beginnings, <i>Manchester by the Sea </i>"illuminates with quiet, unyielding grace how you and I and our neighbors get by, and sometimes how we don't" (<i>Boston Globe</i>). <br> Rounding out the volume is a trenchant and incisive introduction by Kenneth Lonergan on writing for film.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kenneth Lonergan </b>is a playwright, screenwriter, and director.
