As a fan of classic Hollywood, and the Art Deco era--I knew that I would have to read this "fictional autobiography" from Jerry Stahl. Stahl, himself a former heroin addict like Arbuckle, adds a genuine sense of the time with the voice he give Roscoe Arbuckle. The book is a quick, and interesting read for anyone interested in the real Arbuckle.
