Críticas:
"What is it about this mother-fixated, death-obsessed, overly competitive insomniac...that continues to fascinate us?...What [Ruth Brandon] found was a man with a gift for self-promotion equaling that of Madonna's."
--USA Today "Elegant...[Brandon reveals] the surprising charisma of the man whose name has, for more than a century, evoked wonder."
--The Boston Globe "Superb...Brandon is a shrewd and incisive biographer."
--John Banville, Los Angeles Times Book Review

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For many performers, stage life and real life are separate identities. For master illusionist Harry Houdini, the two were inextricably linked. In this widely acclaimed biography, Ruth Brandon shows how Houdinis obsession with his own mortality drove him to create death-defying stunts that not only captivated the public but also subdued his own raging psychological demons. As Brandon relates Houdinis methods of escape, she asks: What was he trying to escape from? Her exploration of the psychic landscape of one of the most enduringly famous performers of the twentieth century makes for utterly fascinating reading. Brandon reveals much that is new: how Houdini invented a phantom son; why he wrote long daily letters to his wife, Bess, who lived one oor below him; his combative relations with mediums and spiritualists, including Arthur Conan Doyle; and the rst full description of his fabled death. This denitive biography allows readers to peer into Houdinis psyche and understand him more deeply than ever before. For many performers, stage life and real life are separate identities.
