Review:
'Geniuses And Other Eccentrics' does not sound unconventional, yet it is almost unique. As a comparison, only Gisele Freund's book of annotated literary portraits comes to mind, and she was not the writer Rodman is. -- Kenneth Baker, art critic, San Francisco Chronicle
It really is an amazing book...Surely, it will have permanence, both for its aesthetic brilliance and its historical relevance. -- William Styron
