Stanley Kubrick's career spanned Paths of Glory, Lolita , Dr Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange , Barry Lyndon, The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut. In this book, Michael Herr, best known for his brilliant and seminal books Dispatches and Walter Winchell, who worked with Kubrick on Full Metal Jacket and co-wrote the screenplay, pays due homage and tribute to his long-time friend, remembering the humour, the cleanly burning intelligence and the outrageous sanity of a twentieth century master.
'They say [Kubrick] had no personal life, but that's ridiculous. It would be more correct to say that he had no professional life, since everything he did was personally done' Michael Herr
'Kubrick is a captivating little book rather like an Arthur Miller play: it plays out on a small scale but invokes the epic themes of friendship, art, sex and war. It is intimate, honest and affectionate' Guardian
