Stefan Kanfer discusses MARLON BRANDO (Event Over)
STEFAN KANFER
talk & booksigning for "Somebody: The Reckless Life and
Remarkable Career of Marlon Brando"
Friday, November 21 at 7:30 pm
For everything we know about Brando as a man as well as an actor
and artist, he remains a fascination. What are we to make of
someone whose life, both personal and professional, hit such
dazzling highs and such abysmal lows? Acclaimed film critic Stefan
Kanfer answers this question in "Somebody: The Reckless Life and
Remarkable Career of Marlon Brando." And in the process, Kafner
gives us what may well be the final word on one of the most
astonishing talents of the twentieth century.
Stefan Kanfer's books include "The Eighth Sin," "A Summer
World," "The Last Empire," "Serious Business," "Groucho," "Ball of
Fire," and "Stardust Lost." He was a writer and editor at Time
magazine for more than twenty years and was its first bylined film
critic, a post he held between 1967 and 1972. He is also the
primary interviewer in the Academy Award-nominated documentary "The
Line King" and editor of an anthology of Groucho Marx's comedy,
"The Essential Groucho."
