Description - Orson Welles: Stories of His Life by Peter Conrad
The author of The Hitchcock Murders turns his eye to the life and work of the enigmatic maestro who made Citizen Kane. In death Orson Welles remains a legendary, outsized, and ambiguous figure. Peter Conrad's study is a critical biography of Welles, viewing the man through the optic of his sprawling and yet singular body of work. This is not a debunking of the well-aired Welles-as-Genius myth so much as an attempt to explain the sources of his polymorphous gifts, through an expert examination of the many personae Welles adopted in a life lived large.
