title: An Improbable Life: Memoirs
author:  Robert Craft 
description: The great pleasure of reading Craft derives from two sources. First, there's his insatiable and promiscuous appetite for knowledge. . . . He possesses much the same flair for the encyclopedic disquisition as his old Hollywood friend Aldous Huxley. . . . If you like his meticulous and well-stocked mind as much as I do, you'll eventually want to read everything he's written. <br />--Michael Dirda, <i>Washington Post</i><br /><br />The great pleasure of reading Craft derives from two sources.
