Overview: The oddest book you may ever read, both fantastic autobiography and ground-breaking autofiction
Count Nicolas de Toulouse Lautrec de Savine was a hero in battle and a legendary lover in bed. A daring adventurer and a shameless swindler. A gambler ready to place the riskiest bets and a coward apt to flee his creditors in the middle of the night. Tsar of Bulgaria and a Chicago streetcar conductor. A racist, a chauvinist, and an antisemite. Was he all of these — or none of them? This is the question Stella Benson struggled with as she tried to shape the Count’s wild recollections into a coherent story. Which mattered more: the factual truth or the fictional truth? Her answer anticipates today’s field of creative nonfiction — while telling a wild, funny, and unique tale.
