    About the Book

    Edit

    Pumpkin Top is the second in a series of six-and-a-half books that tell one continuous story about Percy Fetter's attempt to make a movie about his "real dad" (T. Henry Tinsmith) – a man that Percy had never met... and a man that had never been told about Percy's existence. Percy searches for and finds this "real dad" of his, but is reluctant to introduce himself, until he has researched and written a screenplay that he can be proud of. However the more that Percy learns about Tinsmith and the extraordinary circumstances of his life, the more puzzled he becomes about the shape that his movie ought to take. (NOTE:The first book in this series is entitled, 'The Five Fleas Hotel.')

    Pieter Van Deusen

    At Marin College, in California, I studied painting with Ray Strong and, after visiting Harry Partch, built my own musical instruments. I also composed musique concrète and lighting for dancer Anna Halprin. I then majored in philosophy at UC Berkeley and filmmaking at USC in Los Angeles. I married Gloria Riefman and we had two sons, Paul and Christen. I made short films for Graphic Films and Churchill Films in Los Angeles – three of the best known being The Voyage of Odysseus, The Hundred Penny Box and A Kite Story. I made one independent feature film, Netherby Naps, in Yorkshire England, which took over 30 years to complete, as no deadline had been chosen. My partner since 1969 has been the author Leah Miller, who worked with me on the films that were made since then... and together we raised her two children : Richard and Corinne.
