Don’t get too excited!!
Nothing about Jake so far!
Canatara Christopher, who runs Cantarabooks, which published the small a book of poems by Stephen Gyllenhaal, is circulating an email titled The Secret History of the Gyllenhaals.
Stephen, dad to Jake and Maggie, had a falling out with his former publisher and now his dirty laundry may become the subject of a book.
Here are some HIGHlights:
Item: December 2006. A freak fire in Northern California completely wipes out the luxury guest lodge where the entire Gyllenhaal family are staying for the holidays, resulting in Stephen running out of the lodge at three in the morning barefoot and sans underwear, but carrying out the single most important item to him in the room — not the twenty thousand dollar Rolex watch given to him by his wife for their anniversary, but his laptop containing the only copy of his first novel.
Item: February 2007. Stephen is scheduled to host a viewing of one of his films and read his poetry for a long-standing reading series at Colorado U, Boulder. A reception is organized for him in the Paleontology Department of the university. All the guests are already there but Stephen is nowhere to be found. I ask the coordinator where he is. She points to a closed door. “He’s in the cloak room on his cell phone, talking to his analyst.”
Item: March 2007. Huntington Beach, California. Stephen, tired from a day of shooting a TV show, reads his poetry for a local reading series. At this time he reveals his secret desire to stab Naomi to death with a kitchen knife, not only to the stunned crowd of seniors but to Naomi’s father, who is in the audience.
Item: August 2007. Stephen begins his research into the problems of the homeless by neglecting to shave for two days and sleeping on the streets of LA’s Skid Row.
Also, Gyllenhaal’s divorce proceedings revealed that he is close to broke and he recently went on a tangent defending Bernie Madoff!
Stephen probably is a little nuts but Christopher used to perform in erotica before becoming a publisher!
We don’t know who to believe but if it doesn’t involve Jake or Maggie, we don’t care!
