Book Reviews of Keaton: The Man Who Wouldn't Lie Down (Limelight)
Book Review: sensitively written and highly informative- lots of pictures
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an unabashed fan of Buster Keaton, believing his to be the pinnacle of physical humor on film in the 20th century. This book balanced the many aspects of a complicated and brilliant man who spent only one day in a schoolroom. The final section is written very sensitively, and has some great photos.
Summary of Keaton: The Man Who Wouldn't Lie Down (Limelight)
"...the definitive life. I don't think it will ever be superseded ... It is scholarly yet readable, the fullest, most objective and factually detailed book on virtually every aspect of Buster's career and personality: artistic, financial, and pyschological ... full of the most interesting (and surprising) information." - Dwight MacDonald, The New York Review of Books "A candid yet compassionate account of Keaton's turbulent personal life...reveals the roots of his humanity ... his pessimism ... [his] superb spirit of comic gloom ..." - Boston GlobeTheater Books
