Summary: WHAT A BOOK!!!!!!
Comment: Ben Hecht is a virtually forgotten figure today. No matter. This is one of the best autobiographies ever written...EVER. You don't even have to be interested in the period or people he covers in order to be drawn into the story. For aspring writers: read this, and then try and figure out how he puts it all together. This is (a) a wonderful story; (b) a brilliant piece of writing; and (c) a marvelous read. Why in god's (gods'?) name is it out of print??????

Summary: The Best Biography I've Read!
Comment: What is this book doing out of print? I know very little about Ben Hecht outside of what he's told me in this book, but I'm fascinated by his method and style in putting together his autobiography, including his early chapter excusing his lack of fame, and foretelling his own future anonymity! Get this book back into print and back in front of the readers! Hecht knew everyone and did everything, from 20's Chicago to 50's TV. What a guy!
