The most fascinatingly provocative, intimate study of an artist I have ever read -- Patrick Skene Catling * Evening Standard * It preserves precisely the aspects of Bacon that will be hardest for scholarly researchers to capture... no-one can convey better than Farson the fun of Bacon's company and the louche adventures of the Soho underworld -- Lynn Barber * Independent on Sunday * Positively Runyonesque...well-written, entertaining, and above all, thought-provoking -- David Mellor * Daily Telegraph * Startlingly revealing * Times Literary Supplement *More details

Person
He 'stumbled' into television in the early days of ITV becoming a leading interviewer with his own series. Then in 1964 on a sudden impulse, Daniel Farson abandoned television and Soho for the house left him by his parents in North Devon - 'in order to find out if I could write'. Subsequent books include his bestseller Jack the Ripper, The Man Who Wrote Dracula, a biography of his great-uncle Bram Stoker; the historical novel Swansdowne on convicts sent to Tasmania; books on Turkey; and several which combine his photographs with his reminicences: Soho in the Fifties; Sacred Monster; Escapades; Limehouse Days; Gilbert & George in Moscow.
Daniel Farson died in 1997.
