Book description
'Tracing Keaton's beginnings in vaudeville and how he eventually
applied that form's traits to cinema, McPherson creates an excellent
portrait of a formidable talent, also addressing the private demons
that accelerated his eventual slide.' Empire 'The author, rather like
his subject, has the knack of sketching a poignant moment using
minimum of sentimental flannel.' Sunday Telegraph 'McPherson wins one
over because of his loving fan's attention to, and lively evocation
of, the core of Keaton's achievement.' Telegraph 'Graceful and
charming... McPherson's account is animated by the same sort of colour
and vitality as Buster's best work.' Scotsman
Edward McPherson is a writer in New York City. Buster Keaton is his
first book.
