This is a lively biography of an anything but dull character. Artemis Cooper knew him from an early age and was contracted to write the book some twenty years ago, but agreed that it would not appear within his lifetime in order that it should be an honest account, and so that he and his wife should be spared any embarrassment as a result of the retelling of some of his more racy exploits. She has had a vast archive of conversations and interviews with him and his friends, as well as unrestricted access to his correspondence and other papers, and the result is a very invigorating read about an extremely full life.
If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[Panther Soup: A European Journey in War and Peace by John Gimlette]] and [[The Fetish Room by Redmond O'Hanlon and Rudi Rotthier]].
