About the Author:
Peter Manso is the author of the definitive biography of Marlon Brando, as well as Ptown: Art, Sex, and Money on the Outer Cape, which was a #1 Boston Globe bestseller. His work has also appeared in the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Vanity Fair, Premiere, and Paris Match.
Review:
"Try dipping into Mr. Manso's interviews without at once becoming addicted....You can't." -- The New York Times
"Manso's exhaustive, kiss-and-tell biography seems fitting for a man of such caprice and profligacy, his work defined by excess and brilliance at once." -- The Boston Globe
"The book is grand gossip, a sort of portable Hamptons, Everyman's own private literary soirée." -- Time
"A rare and unprecedented document." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Frank, detailed, outspoken, funny, horrifying, fascinating, ludicrous, awesome, irreverent, brave, hypnotic, petty, dramatic, adroit, and unseemly -- a whirlwig of ambition, passion, and disaster....It will make you forget your troubles." -- The Village Voice
