Publisher Synopsis
"As definitive a Lang as we are likely to get: entertaining, appalling, persuasive." -Steven Bach, L.A. Weekly Literary Supplement "A beast Lang certainly was. . . . McGilligan, with ferocious research and a touch of wonder-throughout, he seems to be shaking his head in fascination-spreads [his] elements before us: the quasi-diabolist artist, the sadistic perfectionist with his actors, the fervent devotee of truth, the twister of facts, the elegant immoralist, the indefatigable amorist, the disturbing seer into the giant maladies of his epoch. McGilligan's passion and thoroughness make his Lang biography a permanent resource." -Stanley Kauffmann, New York Times Book Review Read more...
