Mr. Lahr has written sixteen books, among them the novelsThe Autograph Hound (1973) and Hot to Trot (1974); Notes on a Cowardly Lion: The Biography of Bert Lahr (California, 2000),Light Fantastic: Adventures in Theater (1996), The Orton Diaries (editor, 1986), andPrick Up Your Ears: The Biography of Joe Orton (1978).
From the Inside Flap
"Lahr merges the toughness, the compassion, the brilliance of The Dame with his own unique expertise. He writes from his guts, as the son of a great clown, of the irresistible mystery of comedy. This is John Lahr's best book."Richard Avedon
