Follies of God: Tennessee Williams and the Women of the Fog received funds from a previous Indiegogo campaign, and some of those who contributed are thanked in the book, which was published by Knopf this past March. My next book, Come Up A Man: The Hungers of Marlon Brando requires that I take a leave of one month to finalize research and the manuscript prior to publication. There is some travel involved, but, for the most part, these funds buy me the time to complete the book.

I began having telephone calls with Marlon Brando in June of 1990, and these calls, unexpected and always fairly late in the night, continued for two years. The book is not a biography so much as it is a journey in which Brando asked me to find out where peace could be found, and to ask others if they had found it.

The book contains interviews with Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Agnes de Mille, Martha Graham, Harold Pinter, Sidney Lumet, Marian Seldes, Arthur Penn, Maureen Stapleton, Uta Hagen, and many others.

The five traits Brando sent me to learn more about, and which he believed would lead him--and others--to peace were:

 

1.  Faith

2.  Will

3.  Control

4.  Love

5.  Acceptance


Come Up A Man: The Hungers of Marlon Brando reveals what Brando and others believed these traits to be, and how best they should be applied.
