Review
"What is it about this mother-fixated, death-obsessed, overly competitive insomniac...that continues to fascinate us?...What [Ruth Brandon] found was a man with a gift for self-promotion equaling that of Madonna's."
--USA Today
--The Boston Globe "Superb...Brandon is a shrewd and incisive biographer."
--John Banville, Los Angeles Times Book Review
