Madam, - Ireland's leading cinematographer, Godfrey Graham, has written a wonderful book, Behind the Lens, which I urge everyone to read.
As an emotional exile on a mountain in America now - due to Ireland's animal quarantine regulations! - I was overwhelmed once again by the beauty of your country and its history, along with the many world figures whom the author photographed ranging through Nelson Mandela, the many Irish people who transformed Ireland, as well as film stars and directors.
He tells about the beginnings of RTÉ, and about how his grandfather brought the first cinema to Ireland. The family house in Dublin where many patriots were welcomed is now the site of the Joyce Museum. This book belongs in every university, film school and library worldwide. - Yours, etc,
