I didn"t know

The Man Who Invented Sex was an objective fact finding look at the life and lies of a very mysterious vulgar writer. It almost discouraged me from wanting to be a successful writer if that the price of success. However, I admired this man who wrote The Adventurer; a book I picked up to read on my flight to Vietnam. That one book turned me on to reading other books, besides science books. For years I didn't even remember who wrote the book. As famious as Robbins was to the world, I was clueless to who he was. It was such a delight to rediscover this author but sad at the same time to find out what a fool was behind his genus. I believe Andrew Wilson did an unbias presentation of the facts about Harold's life. It was confusing sometimes trying to maintain the timeline because some of the interviews were out of sequence with the story line. Overall it was well done. Thanks Andrew for sharring it with me.
