Description
Orson Welles's private conversations, recorded over lunch, offer a unique glimpse into the life of a cultural provocateur. For the first time, these long-lost recordings are presented in book form, revealing Welles as he has never been seen before. The conversations, edited by film historian Peter Biskind, cover a wide range of topics, from politics and literature to personal relationships and the films Welles was still eager to launch. Welles's wit and intelligence are on full display, as he shares his thoughts on the people he knew, including FDR, Charlie Chaplin, and Laurence Olivier. This book provides a candid and often irreverent look at the life of one of the 20th century's greatest directors, a man struggling with reversals, bitter and angry, yet crackling with wit.
