Riassunto

Widely regarded as the best British painter since Turner, very little is known about Francis Bacon's life. In this, the first-ever book to be written about him, Daniel Farson, friend and confidant to Bacon for over forty years, gives a highly personal, first-hand account of the man as he knew him. From his sexual adventures to his rise from obscurity to international fame, Farson gives us unique insight into Bacon's genius.

"Positively Runyonesque...well-written, entertaining, and above all, thought-provoking" (David Mellor Daily Telegraph)

"Startlingly revealing" (Times Literary Supplement)
