Description
Brian Masters has written a dozen biographies on subjects as varied as Moliere, Marie Corelli, Camus, Dennis Nilsen and Jeffrey Dahmer. He portrays his own life with the honesty of an experienced biographer, describing; his childhood in the bombed-out streets of South London; the years as a protege of one of the first radio stars, Gilbert Harding; hitchhiking across America dressed in a suit and bowler hat; and discovering his sexuality. This book is both an inquiry into the events and forces that formed him and a portrait of many friends and acquaintances.
