Willy Wonka Then

Willy Wonka NOW


Gene Wilder signs copies of "My French Whore."

This beloved actor and screenwriter's first novel is set during World War I. It delicately explores a most unusual romance. Wilder's touching debut novel is a simple, straight-faced love story about a brave coward and a scarlet woman. Mel Brooks says,"Gene Wilder has written a remarkable period piece. It's an elegantly woven story of intrigue, danger, sex and comedy--but for me the big surprise is that it's a truly moving and eloquent love story."
