Buster Keaton: Tempest In A Flat Hat

This â€œappreciative biography that rolls as smoothly as a film reelâ€ (Cleveland Plain Dealer) celebrates one of cinemaâ€™s greatest clowns, painting a detailed portrait of the man behind the mayhem and offering a fresh look at the classic comedies that defined the Golden Age of Silent Film.

Writerâ€”and avowed fanâ€”Edward McPherson takes the reader on a fascinating journey through Buster Keatonâ€™s life and times, from the vaudeville stage to the glittering screens of early Hollywood, where he rivaled even Charlie Chaplin as the master of silent comedy.
Based on extensive research, this biography reveals Keaton in his prime as an antic geniusâ€”equal parts auteur, innovator, prankster, and daredevilâ€”focusing on his glorious 1920s films, which â€œMcPherson evokes with insight and enthusiasmâ€ (Washington Post Book World).
