Double Feature is a sweeping, character-driven literary novel about family, ambition, and identity in the modern age of cinema and celebrity.
The story follows Sam Dolan, an aspiring filmmaker struggling to escape the shadow of his father — a flamboyant, washed-up B-movie actor named Booth Dolan. When Sam’s directorial debut goes disastrously wrong, he’s forced to confront questions of artistic integrity, self-worth, and what it means to create something meaningful in a superficial world.
Blending humour, heartbreak, and sharp cultural observation, Owen King delivers a rich, multi-layered narrative about the pursuit of art and the messy relationships that define us. The novel earned praise for its emotional intelligence and its blend of satire and sincerity, marking King as a distinct voice in contemporary American fiction.
