About the Book

Dirk Bogarde was a Rank contract artist and matin e idol (films such as Doctor in the House) who became a giant of the intellectual cinema, working with directors such as Losey (The Servant, Accident), Visconti (The Damned, Death in Venice) and Resnais (Providence). Fiercely protective of his privacy and that of his partner of 40 years, he left England in the 1960s to live on the Continent, where he carved a second career for himself as a bestselling autobiographer with A Postillion Struck by Lightning (1977) and as a successful novelist. In all he had 15 books to his credit, including A Particular Friendship (1989), which showed him as a copious and brilliant writer of letters.

Although Bogarde destroyed many of his papers, his family has made available what remains of his personal archive to John Coldstream, former Literary Editor of the Daily Telegraph, who knew him well in his last years and edited his final book, For the Time Being (1998). Coldstream has also made many discoveries following diligent research. The biography will be published to coincide with the fifth anniversary of Bogarde s death.

About the Author :
John Coldstream was on the staff of the Daily Telegraph for 25 years, starting on the 'Peterborough' column, then as deputy literary editor, before becoming Literary Editor in 1991.

Review :
Biographies only tend to be definitive until the next one comes along, but there's no danger of Coldstream's erudite, moving analysis ever being superseded. - THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY - Christopher Fowler

This stupendous biography. Its masterful justification of his many sides make it possible for us still to learn from him in death. - THE DAILY TELEGRAPH - John De Falbe

this extremely interesting life of a determined stage actor, reluctant film star, gay icon and wicked charmer has been beautifully documented, with fairness, enthusiasm and quite exceptional diligence. - THE GUARDIAN - Michael Coveney

a monumental piece of work.....fascinating throughout its more than 600 extremely well-written pages. - THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH - Charles Osborne

I have seldom read a biopgraphy as intelligent, urbane and judicious as this.... Definitive and magnificent. - SUNDAY EXPRESS - Roger Lewis

this meticulous biography. - THE NEW STATESMAN - Christie Hickman

Coldstream is the most generous of biographers... Coldstream's biography will tell you all you want to know...... about this very interesting actor and very tricky human being. - THE MAIL ON SUNDAY - Craig Brown

a scrupulous and sober portrait of a deeply troubled man. - THE INDEPENDENT - Michael Arditti
