I'm reading this now. It is a very interesting take on his life and art. Probably the best biography of the man. A must for fans of the DVD "In the Realms of the Unreal".

A fascinating biography. The author spent ten years
researching this, and it is as complete as one can find. I do not agree with all of his conclusions, but it is still a first-rate biography. Recommended.
