Book summaryThe first of a proposed two-volume biography, this book takes Welles to the ripe old age of 26, when he had just completed "Citizen Kane". As Simon Callow says in his preface, "I have tried to put [Welles] back into the context from which he wrenched himself.... Cleaning the canvas, as it were, I have aimed to reveal the surrounding figures and Welles's connection with them." Media reviews"Mr. Callow's first volume runs to 640 pages, every one of which is justified--no padding, no divagations....Orson Welles' life was torrential, and the style of Simon Callow's biography suits the life....The ultimate result should be the monument that this insufficiently monumental figure needs--this genius who did much but not nearly enough, who could have had long, magnificent careers in both theater and film and who, to our immense loss, left both of those careers unfulfilled." |
