Rosebud: The Story of Orson Welles

David Thomson

This work charts the life of a man who stilled the world with his performance in "Citizen Kane" in 1941. Orson Welles seemed to possess inhuman energy and a phenomenal voice but in the final rootless years when he yielded to obesity, this cinematic genius became a tragic figure.

Summary

Rosebud is a riveting and powerful portrait of the rise and fall of one of Hollywood's greatest innovators - the man who brought us Citizen Kane and then lost himself to obesity, small talk and conjuring tricks on daytime television.
With humour, pace and the twists of a mystery story, acclaimed film critic and writer David Thomson probes the essential questions surrounding Welles, exploring the ferocious energy and demonic intellect behind the boy genius. Challenging, idiosyncratic, compelling: Rosebud understands Welles as no other study has, and in a way that leaves the reader breathless, amused and deeply moved by the wonder that was once Orson.
