"As Hecht tells the story, he made a $2,500 bet with Charles MacArthur's millionaire brother, Alfred, that in two days he could write a book that would be critically praised and sell more than twenty thousand copies. The dictation took thirty-six hours, he claims, and he won the wager - Fetherling, FIVE LIVES OF BEN HECHT, p.58." With 5 drawings by the phenomenal WALLACE SMITH, with his black-and-white illustrations "to illustrate the spirit of the text rather than its letter. The result is this series of Renaissance pictures whose dark opulence curiously interprets the moods of this story's hero,".
