Book Reviews of Elia Kazan: A Life

Book Review: One of the extraordinary autobiographies of the century.
Summary: 5 Stars

Kazan is the only person I can think of who hit home runs in all three fields, theater, film, and fiction. As a director of plays he received five Pulitzer prizes, for directing films, two Academy awards, and in fiction his novel "The Arrangement" became a #1 bestseller for 37 consecutive weeks. Although he calls his autobiography simply "A Life," this book is twice extraordinary, in the dramatic events it covers and a rare candor about himself and his contemporaries. With so many other good books clamoring for my attention, I intend to read it a third time now that this new edition is available.
