From writing for the first issue of The Paris Review to playing a nun for Fellini, this Southern charmer will have you in stitches. He is perhaps the most famous person you've never heard of. Every single page was a revelation and a joy as we follow Eugene Walter from his affluent southern roots in Mobile, Alabama, to have picnics in the gardens of a Villa in Rome with Leontyne Price. Please allow yourself the pleasure of enjoying this heartfelt romp with a gentleman whose time has passed, and it is likely never to be anyone like him again.
