In A Grand Guy, the art and life of Terry Southern, by Lee Hill, we have a vibrant and colorful biography of the life of Terry Southern--one of the most genuine talents of this or any other age. Illuminating, exhilarating, and sobering, it is an intimate portrait of an unequaled satirist and satyrist whose appetite for life was enormous--and whose aim was sure and true as he took shots at consumerism, America's repressive political culture, upper-class amorality, and middle class banality.
