Hardcover. Condition: Good. From the 1940s until his death in 1994, Leo Lerman was one of the most influential and notorious men in New York's artistic and social circles. Through Lerman's journals, readers are taken into his world and shown not only a major social critic, but a deeply personal man who regarded family, friendship and history above all else. From his time with such legends Truman Capote and Jackie Onassis to his unprecedented contribution to the world of art, 'The Grand Surprise' is more than just journal entries, it is a major cultural history that illuminates not only the man behind the pen, but the people and places that he drew from in everything he did.
