Praise
“I didn’t think any biography could do justice to one of the few honest-to-goodness geniuses of our time, a walking paradox who wore a cloak of complexity and elusiveness, but Lisa Rogak has done an exemplary job of it.”
- Otto Penzler, The Mysterious Bookshop on
A Boy Named Shel: The Life and Times of Shel Silverstein
“Rogak creates a compelling biography...Rachel Maddow is an affectionate portrait of its subject.”
