Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The play transpires over one long, boozy night, laying bare the lies, compromises, and scalding love that have sustained a middle-aged couple through decades of marriage. He explores how two couples - one fictional, one all too real - brought to light our most deeply held myths about relationships, sex, family, and, against all odds, love.

Caracteristici
Starring some of the most beloved celebrities Hollywood has ever produced: Even a decade after her death, Elizabeth Taylor continues to command an enormous and devoted following that has fueled books from Sam Kashner and Nancy Shoenberger's Furious Love to Kate Brower's recent biography. And Mike Nichols was the subject of a bestselling 2021 biography by Mark Harris. Fans of these artists (not to mention Richard Burton, Edward Albee, and more of the book's boldface names) will be eager to read.

Recenzii
Terrific! With a dynamically deft touch, Philip Gefter chronicles how a uniquely volatile mix of timing, talent, pressure, and passion turned a landscape-altering play into a cinematic detonation. Savor this juicy bit of time travel, because we'll never see the likes of these people and these circumstances again.
A finely detailed, step-by-step, sometimes day-by-day account of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - from the play to the movie and beyond. I thought I knew this story already, but Philip Gefter's book is full of surprising twists, startling quotes, and striking insights. Many marriages are examined: not just George and Martha, of course, and Liz and Dick, but the intimate, radioactive partnership of a hungry writer-producer and a rising young director. This is a wonderfully readable work of cultural history, sexual politics, and social comedy.
Gefter weaves the particulars of Avedon's life story into a larger narrative about American culture in the decades after World War II . . . Argues eloquently for the abiding, even urgent relevance of Avedon's imperfect Art.
An admiring and absorbing biography.
