From the terrace of his Tuscan villa Jayjay offers him a biographer's dream: a no-holds barred account of a life lived in pursuit of the thrill of endless possibility. What follows is a complex investigation not only of a life, but of the nature of biography itself. This is a VG text copy of the 1st./1st. fnl. with some slight age and shelf wear.*
