From the publisher

The most comprehensive biography of the creator of 2001: A Space Odessey, The Shining, and A Clockwork Orange.

'Nobody could make a film like Stanley Kubrick.' Steven Spielberg

Kubrick's interest in observing human folly produced some of the most important works of art of the twentieth century, including 2001: A Space OdysseyA Clockwork OrangeDr. StrangeloveBarry Lyndon and The Shining.

Based on Kubrick's archive, as well as new interviews with family members and those who worked with him, Kubrick: An Odyssey offers comprehensive, in-depth coverage of Kubrick's personal, public and working life.

This long-awaited, new biography dispels the myths surrounding the allegedly reclusive director, who spent his career determined to transcend traditional film-making.

'Kolker and Abrams have unearthed some superb new facts about the director.' The Times, 'Book of the Week'

'An authoritative portrait of the director. Filled with striking behind-the-scenes stories and elevated by a keen understanding of Kubrick's style, this is a biography as monumental as its subject.' Publishers Weekly

'Myths are debunked, and everyone from the Kubrick obsessive to the casual fan will be beguiled.' Guardian
