Based on extensive interviews with coworkers, friends, and relatives, <i>Uncle Mame</i> is a revealing, intimate portrait of the man who brought camp to the American mainstream and even in his lowest moments personified--even in his lowest moments-- the glamour and wit he captured on the page.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Eric Myers</b> is the coauthor of two previous books and has written for the <i>New York Times, Variety, Opera News</i>, and <i>Time Out</i>, among many other publications.
