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
