*An intimate portrait of the genius who transformed the art of filmmaking, by the acclaimed author and screenwriter who was his friend, collaborator and confidant for nearly 20 years*'Stanley Kubrick was a friend of mine, insofar as people like Stanley have friends, and as if there are any people like Stanley now. Famously reclusive, as I'm sure you've heard, he was in fact a complete failure as a recluse, unless you believe that a recluse is simply someone who seldom leaves his house'Stanley Kubrick's career spanned Paths of Glory, Lolita, Dr Strangelove, 2001:A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket. In this book Michael Herr, best-known for his brilliant and seminal books Dispatches and Walter Winchell, who worked with Kubrick on Full Metal Jacket and co-wrote the screenplay, pays due homage and tribute to his longtime friend, remembering the humour, the cleanly burning intelligence and the outrageous sanity of a Twentieth Century master.If you want to understand contemporary America,its culture and the place of film at the end of film's first century, then you have to read Kubrick. As in Dispatches, so with Kubrick --- what began as an article and comment on a moment in history becomes a literary event itself, and transforms our understanding of our culture and ourselves.
