The author was intimitately familiar with Bacon and the Soho art scene, including people like Douglas Cooper and Lucien Freud. This book is a serious appraisal by an informed participant. His portrait of Bacon is unsparing -- a man whom he both knew and admired as a genius, warts and all. A book worth looking at.
