Reviews

The Last Word is an absolute pleasure to read - well-written, well-researched, and illuminating. Justin Gautreau's readings of canonical and neglected works are smart and insightful. A truly splendid book! * Steven Cohan, author of Hollywood by Hollywood: The Backstudio Picture and the Mystique of Making Movies *
