wnmjr's review against another edition
2.0
Tough read, and I’m a huge fan of Shep dating back to the late 1960’s when I discovered his WOR radio show and short stories in Playboy.
I didn’t enjoy the author’s construct of co-mingling a biography with verbatim transcripts of his radio performances … but that’s just me. As a result, it took me months to finish as I kept putting it aside for long periods of time.
I finally finished it by skipping the transcripts and sticking to the author’s contributions, which helped me better understand his life and the complicated contrast of the man and artist.
