Rambling, shocking, informative, deeply sad and funny, Rbt Hughes reveals almost all in this whirlwind adventure of his most exhilarating life. I laughed and cried out loud all the while surprised that I would or could or was even actually relating to this burly macho and at times perhaps chauvinist writer who, when I was in college, made me gag with dread when his name popped up on reading lists. Now, moving on from this lovingly tattered used copy that I found at Harvard Books in MA, I cannot wait to read everything by this prolific author. In short: this dude can write about art, life and all that sticks between. A must read.
