The diaries of Kenneth Tynan

"Irreverent, indiscreet, wildly funny, sad, shocking and inspiring, the legendary diaries of Kenneth Tynan are above all compelling literature. For over three decades, on both sides of the Atlantic, Tynan was at the hot center of the theater and film worlds. He knew everybody; and everybody wanted to know him. His diaries - so resplendent with griefs and gossip - bear superb witness to the fame he courted and the price he paid for it."--BOOK JACKET.
