About this product
Product Information
From the chief film critic of Slate comes a fresh and captivating biography on comedy legend and acclaimed filmmaker Buster Keaton that also explores the evolution of film from the silent era to the 1940s. As one of the most famous faces of silent cinema, Buster Keaton was and continues to be revered for his stoic expressions, clever visual gags, and acrobatic physicality in classics such as Sherlock Jr., The General , and The Cameraman . In this spirited biography, every aspect of Buster Keaton's astonishing life is explored, from his humble beginnings in vaudeville with his parents to his meteoric rise to Hollywood stardom during the silent era. Based on vigorous research of both Keaton and the film industry, it also delves into the dark sides of fame, such as Keaton's ill-advised businesses deals and alcoholism, to his unexpected resurgence in the 1940s as his contributions as both an actor and director were finally celebrated. This is a fascinating and uniquely astounding look at both the classic era of Hollywood and one of its most beloved stars.

Reviews
"I have written three books on Buster Keaton's work, and have barely scratched the surface of his deep and amazing talent. Stevens' book fills in a lot of gaps with a fan's passion and a scholar's insight. It is a fine contribution to the continuing scholarship on one of cinema's most brilliant comedians and filmmakers. " --JAMES L. NEIBAUR, author of Buster Keaton's Silent Shorts: 1920-1923 , Arbuckle and Keaton, and The Fall of Buster Keaton, "In this innovative, exciting combo of biography, history, essay, and acute cultural analysis, Dana Stevens does something I would have thought impossible--she tells the story of Buster Keaton's life as if it were a Buster Keaton movie. This book is an exhilarating new way to view the man, his life, his art, and his genius." --MARK HARRIS, author of Mike Nichols: A Life , Five Came Back and Pictures at a Revolution, "In her brightly written and incredibly well-researched book, Dana Stevens celebrates the enduring filmic presence of Buster Keaton--"The Great Stone Face"--even while transforming him into a guidepost and compass from which to survey the spectacular rise of American popular culture in the modern era. Camera Man offers a unique kaleidoscope of cultural history, film criticism, and fascinating stories and anecdotes, filtered through Stevens' distinctly modern sensibility and held together, in the end, by the slight but mesmerizing figure of Keaton himself ." --JAMES SANDERS, author of Celluloid Skyline: New York and the Movies and co-writer of the award-winning PBS series New York: A Documentary Film, "Buster didn't talk, but luckily Dana Stevens is here to tell us how the Great Stone Face invented a new film language. This rollicking read vivifies the era of innovation and upheaval that shaped the artist who shaped cinema for the next century and counting." --AMY NICHOLSON, author of Tom Cruise: Anatomy of an Actor and the forthcoming Extra Girls, "The world has been waiting for a Buster Keaton chronicler like Dana Stevens, who unfolds the great man's archetypal American life with uncommon wit and grace. But Camera Man offers so much more than biography, revealing its subject as the embodiment, and the instigator, of a turbulent century's transformations. Vaudeville and Hollywood, disruptive technologies and shifting mores, the complications of race and class and gender, the collisions of art and commerce--Stevens packs it all into an electric, genre-busting book that tosses up new ideas, arguments, and aperçus on every page. It's a literary highwire act in the spirit of Buster's famous cinematic set-pieces: a stunt with soul." --JODY ROSEN, author of Two Wheels Good: The History and Mystery of the Bicycle, "This book is as dazzling as a silent movie flickering before you in a dark room. Stevens has managed the rare feat -- conjuring a life in all its specific detail while placing it in a modern context so that it becomes newly vital. Buster Keaton leaps off the page." --RACHEL SYME, staff writer, The New Yorker, "Film critic Stevens astutely aligns Buster Keaton's kinetic cinematic artistry with the velocity of innovation and change in the twentieth century....Steven's incisive, encompassing, and invigorating portrait will deepen and revitalize appreciation for his genius." --Booklist (starred review)
