A fascinating detective story and a brilliant exegesis on cultural appropriation, the cult and development of superstardom, and the wildly unconventional ways in a which a Victorian Age female visionary had to struggle to make her voice heard in a restrictive pre-feminist period. Dr. Sentilles's scholarship is evenly matched by her excellent prose and narrative gifts. This is a 'must read' for anyone interested in the theater, rebel women, iconoclastic artists, and female boldness enacted during any historic age. I can't recommend it strongly enough to readers everywhere. It is also illuminating in its insights on mid-nineteenth century social chaos. I was spellbound from the first sentence of the introduction to the last resonant sentence of the final chapter; certainly every American Studies program and history department in the country should require it.

Halsman offers more than the standard potrait photography we have grown accustomed to. He offers a fresh perspective to faces we have seen countless times, by offering us an intimate look into thier lives. For instance, how many people would think to photograph Monroe pumping iron, or Richard Nixon jumping up and down like a little boy. It is this inginuity that allows the audience to appreciate a different side to these celebrities. I am a longtime fan of Halsman's work, and i would strongly recommend that anyone intersted in the stars of the 50's -70's to get this book. You will appreciate seeing them in a new light.

This is a great book. Ron Galella took very chic, very flattering black and white photos of STARS when the world actually had STARS - not the tabloid trash that we have today. Great printing and art direction - a classic.

A fun item this beige on black T-shirt offers us the traditional jolly roger along with the advice that "We are always on a quest to reveal your hidden treasures." A great goof, this shirt is made of good quality cotton and is a definite attention-getter.

Recently, while poring over a Fernando Pessoa book on amazon, I remembered this delightful book, and alas...I see nobody has yet put in a kind word for it. Paul West is a good European writer of the Dalkey Archives ilk. I'm generally a fan, though sometimes it's hard to get into his deeply cerebral type of writing. This, however, remains one of his brightest and most accessible works. And really, what a clever idea (and what good packaging!). If I remember correctly, each profile was one or two pages long, and the numerous illustrations made the book a delight to behold.

This sort of form uses West's poetic and lyrical strengths while imposing limits on his language before it gets tiresome. Listen, if you landed on this page, chances are, you already are going to like this book (and currently the used price is under $2, a truly remarkable deal). Not only will you be able to enjoy this book, it's a cool Christmas gift to give to friends who wouldn't normally read a Calvino or Baudelaire but would find the celebrities being written about to be fascinating for their own sake.

I haven't read much of Paul West, but I remember liking Rat Man of Paris very much. In summary: this is a slight book (and probably not considered one of his major works), but an original idea and definitely one of his most readable pieces. It wouldn't surprise me if this book turns out to have more staying power than his "major pieces."
