Susannah Gora presents and signs You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried: The Brat Pack, John Hughes, and Their Impact on a Generation.

 

You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried takes us back to that era, interviewing key players, such as Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, and John Cusack, and mines all the material from the movies to the music to the way the films were made to show how they helped shape our visions for romance, friendship, society, and success. (Random House)

"The 1980s youth films maintain their popularity on TV and DVDs, and Gora gives them near-encyclopedic, comprehensive coverage." (Publishers Weekly)
