Superb biography. . . . Holroyd has it all
Robert Hughes, Time
Vastly informative and hugely entertaining
Newsweek
An entertaining, essentially comic story... Holroyd tells it with great skill and elegance
Sunday Telegraph
Here is one of the most entertaining lives ever written... Holroyd depicts his subjects with great sympathy and understanding... Very funny... thought-provoking
Philip Hensher, Mail on Sunday
Both a celebration and a tragedy. The celebration of a man of enormous vitality, intermittent zest and remarkable magnetism, and of the most naturally gifted artist that the English-speaking world has produced in the last hundred years; and the tragedy of a man who never came to terms with himself... A wonderfully engrossing, entertaining and even moving book
Allan Massie, Daily Telegraph
