Crown Publishers, 2001 - Biography & Autobiography - 295 pages

The author, born in Mobile, Alabama, lived in various locales, enjoyed the company of many luminaries, had such adventures as a role in Fellini's 8 1/2, and "went wherever his fancy and whimsy led him." His "Cast of characters," (p. [271]-295) provides remarkable, brief glimpses of such personalities as Djuna Barnes, Bricktop, Alfred Chester, Federico Fellini, Josephine Herbst, James Laughlin, Carson McCullers, Gertrude Stein, and many, many others.--Jacket.
