Biography -- Performing Arts, 800 g; XVIII, 770 pages, illustrated with numerous photographs in the three sections. Photographic illustrated dustwrapper. The book shows no damage, however the photographic sections are showing a green edge, probably due to the type of paper used. This revisionist, passionate portrait, based on many new and documented sources and featuring previously unpublished photographs, argues that Dean's angst-ridden compliance -- in public -- with the rigid sexual mores help fuel fury and electricity of his acting. Its conclusion will be a revelation to everyone concerned with movies, popular culture and the ethics of image versus reality. Very Good/Very Good.
