William Gerhardie: A Biography

by Dido Davies

This fascinating biography traces the life of William Gerhardie, a brilliant writer of the 1920s, who by 1940 had mysteriously ceased to publish becoming for the rest of his life an eccentric recluse. Drawing on the full range of Gerhardie's extensive archives--letters, diaries, and manuscripts--Davies offers a wildly funny and extremely moving account of the man and his age.
