Ben Hecht's critically acclaimed autobiographical memoir, first
published in 1954, offers incomparably pungent evocations of
Chicago in the 1910s and 1920s, Hollywood in the 1930s, and New
York during the Second World War and after. "His manners are not
always nice, but then nice manners do not always make interesting
autobiographies, and this autobiography has the merit of being
intensely interesting."-Saul Bellow, New York Times Named to Time's
list of All-Time 100 Nonfiction Books, which deems it "the
un-put-downable testament of the era's great multimedia
entertainer."
