Publisher's Note
The author of Becoming Mae West serves up another compelling chronicle of the silent film Hollywood legend that will alter the readers perceptions about "leading men," the changing images of masculinity, and the discrepancies that exist between a superstar's public image and private life. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"[A] fluid, accomplished, deliciously readable biography....DARK LOVER...is no exercise in Hollywood nostalgia; it's meant for a readership far beyond film buffs and archivists. This is a book about sex, about the intricate relations between men and women, about changing images of masculinity, about the discrepancies between a superstar's public role and private life, about what can happen to a man who is universally perceived as having power over women. As the author of a study of Mae West, Leider is well equipped to handle these themes."
New York Times Book Review - Barry Gewen (05/11/2003)
