The end product is a faseinating and defii portrait of an intriguing lady-who first started writing’ ’ mysteries for a bet. © Her Sensational disappearance for 10 days in 1926, and her subsequent refusal to explain her absence, set up a train of speculation’ which has lasted for almost 60 _years.

However, this candid portrait of a complicated mother- daughter relationship does not criticize Bette Davis too severely. It's written with affection“and humor and ‘a constant ‘attempt to understand the real woman behind the glitter. : : ee To quote a number of U.S. newspapers, Calvin Trillin is “clearly a grump for. the ages”, “one of the’ wittiest writers of our time”, “a classic American humorist”, and. he’s come up trumps again with a second collection of his newspaper articles With All Disrespect.
