title: The Amazing Adventures of Bob Brown: A Real-Life Zelig Who Wrote His Way Through the 20th Century
author: Craig Saper
description: A cross between an intellectual biography of this literary dynamo and a picaresque novel. Bob Brown has found a sensitive, insightful, and appreciative biographer who not only knows how to narrate (and condense) his amazing adventures but also how to draw the connections that make this overflowing life of letters seem all the more meaningful and significant in our era of digital multimedia. (Louis Kaplan <i>University of Toronto</i>)<br /><br />Outstanding. In many ways, this is much more than a biography of one Bob Brown; it is a biography of a lost twentieth century. (Craig Dworkin <i>The University of Utah</i>)<br /><br />Bob Brown, a mostly forgotten figure of the first half of the twentieth century, was nonetheless an original, one of the most colorful and versatile individuals of his time. Publisher, inventor, poet, cookbook writer, pulp fiction writer, self-proclaimed 'fiction machine,' revolutionary, world traveler, Greenwich Village bohemian, European expatriate - you name it and Brown lunged at it with both hands. Though today largely a footnote to other peoples stories, Brown has finally gotten a book of his own, a meticulously researched work that traces the rollicking life and times of a larger-than-life individual while also offering a whirlwind tour through every important cultural and political movement of his era. (Constance Rosenblum <i>author of Gold Digger: The Outrageous Life and Times of Peggy Hopkins Joyce</i>)
