Rosebud: The Story of Orson Welles Tapa blanda - 1997
de David Thomson
Orson Welles, the prodigal genius of American cinema, finally gets the biography he deserves. David Thomson tells the story of the boy genius who became a legend with "Citizen Kane" and then spent the next 40 years floundering--but floundering so interestingly and gloriously that failure became an integral part of the Welles legend. 69 b&w photos throughout.

HE WAS ALONE the night of October 9-10, 1985, which is not the same as lonely.

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
"Easily the best book on Orson Welles." --The New Yorker Orson Welles arrived in Hollywood as a boy genius, became a legend with a single perfect film, and then spent the next forty years floundering. But Welles floundered so variously, ingeniously, and extravagantly that he turned failure into "a sustaining tragedy"--his thing, his song. Now the prodigal genius of the American cinema finally has the biographer he deserves. For, as anyone who has read his novels and criticism knows, David Thomson is one of our most perceptive and splendidly opinionated writers on film.
In Rosebud, Thomson follows the wild arc of Welles's career, from The War of the Worlds broadcast to the triumph of Citizen Kane, the mixed triumph of The Magnificent Ambersons, and the strange and troubling movies that followed. Here, too, is the unfolding of the Welles persona--the grand gestures, the womanizing, the high living, the betrayals. Thomson captures it all with a critical acumen and stylistic dash that make this book not so much a study of Welles's life and work as a glorious companion piece to them. "Insightful, controversial, and highly readable--Rosebud is biography at its best." --Cleveland Plain Dealer
