Robert Evans

The Kid Stays in the Picture by Robert Evans was even more entertainingly awful than I could hope. The jive catechisms, the friendship with Henry Kissinger...bonkers but original.

Walter Tevis

Claire Tomalin's Dickens biography was excellent, and so is "The Invisible Woman" about actress Nelly Ternan. https://t.co/fjjiYYia0S
