But he remains - of course - one of a kind. Mischievous, touching and nothing less than brilliant, his new memoir is filled with stories from childhood to the present. A pilgrimage to Lourdes with his father is both hilarious and moving. A misguided step into reality TV goes horribly wrong. From New York to Moscow to Berlin to Phnom Penh, Vanished Years takes the reader on a wild and wonderful journey with a charming (and rather disreputable) companion. 'A literary star ...
