**One of Literary Hubs Five Most Critically Acclaimed Biographies of 2022**
From acclaimed cultural and film historian James Curtisa major biography, the first in more than two decades, of the legendary comedian and filmmaker who elevated physical comedy to the highest of arts and whose ingenious films remain as startling, innovative, modernand irresistibletoday as they were when they beguiled audiences almost a century ago.
"It is brilliantI was totally absorbed, couldn''t stop reading it and was very sorry when it ended."Kevin Brownlow
It was James Agee who christened Buster Keaton The Great Stone Face. Keatons face, Agee wrote, "ranked almost with Lincolns as an early American archetype; it was haunting, handsome, almost beautiful, yet it was also irreducibly funnyKeaton was the only major comedian who kept sentiment almost entirely out of his work and . . . he brought pure physical comedy to its greatest heights.
Mel Brooks: A lot of my daring came from Keaton.
Martin Scorsese, influenced by Keatons pictures in the making of Raging Bull: The only person who had the right attitude about boxing in the movies for me, Scorsese said, was Buster Keaton.
Keatons deadpan stare in a porkpie hat was as recognizable as Charlie Chaplins tramp and Harold Lloyds straw boater and spectacles, and, with WC. Fields, the four were each considered a comedy king--but Keaton was, and still is, considered to be the greatest of them all.
His iconic look and acrobatic brilliance obscured the fact that behind the camera Keaton was one of our most gifted filmmakers. Through nineteen short comedies and twelve magnificent features, he distinguished himself with such seminal works as Sherlock Jr., The Navigator, Steamboat Bill, Jr., The Cameraman, and his masterpiece, The General.
Now James Curtis, admired biographer of Preston Sturges (definitiveVariety), WC. Fields (by far the fullest, fairest and most touching account we have yet had. Or are likely to haveRichard Schickel, front page of The New York Times Book Review), and Spencer Tracy (monumental; definitiveKirkus Reviews), gives us the richest, most comprehensive life to date of the legendary actor, stunt artist, screenwriter, directormaster.
