Since his death in 1977, no major biography of Groucho Marx, the most influential comedian of his generation, has been written. None of the books published during his lifetime told the whole story, or truly reflected the Marxian spirit. Now Kanfer's biography uncovers the man behind the much-loved character, looking at his complicated life dominated by personal and professional disatisfaction. Why was he so scared of ending up in poverty, why were his relationships with women often so cruel and destructive and what of his complex relations with his brothers? GROUCHO raises the curtain on this icon of twentieth-century cynicism and irreverence with compelling authority, affection and honesty.
