This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Lewis's book ranges far and wide over the life and career of Sellers, circling around wildly to hit several points over and over: Sellers was warped by his overly protective relationship with a mother who called him after an older brother who was stillborn; It's difficult to think of a biography with a style more appropriate to its subject than Roger Lewis's sprawling, discursive, non-linear take on the life and times of legendary comedian, actor, and apparently awful human being Peter Sellers.

Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits.
