FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDThis sumptuous oral biography of Eugene Walter, the best-known man you''ve never heard of, is an eyewitness history of the heart of the last century-enlivened with personal glimpses of luminaries from William Faulkner and Martha Graham to Judy Garland and Leontyne Price-and a pitch-perfect addition to the Southern literary tradition that has critics cheering. In his 76 years, Eugene Walter ate of "the ripened heart of life," to quote a letter from Isak Dinesen, one of his many illustrious friends. Walter savored the porch life of his native Mobile, Alabama, in the the l920s and ''30s; stumbled into the Greenwich Village art scene in late-1940s New York; was a ubiquitous presence in Paris''s expatriate café society in the 1950s (where he was part of the Paris Review at its inception); and later, in 1960s Rome, participated in the golden age of Italian cinema. He was somehow everywhere, bringing with him a unique and contagious spirit, putting his inimitable stamp on the cultural life of the twentieth century."Katherine Clark...has edited Eugene Walter''s oral history into a book as amazing as the man himself."
