Barney Panofsky - Canadian expat, wily lover of women, writer, television producer, raconteur - is finally putting pen to paper so he can rebut the charges about him made in his rival’s autobiography. Whether it’s ranting about his bohemian misadventures during the 1950s in Paris, his tumultuous three marriages, or his successful trashy TV company, Totally Unnecessary Productions, he quickly proves that his memory may be slipping, but his bile isn’t. But when he’s charged with the murder of his own best friend - caught in bed with the second Mrs. Panofsky - Barney’s version of things might not be enough to keep him out of trouble.

An aging man recounts his life, regrets and all. Often very funny. Not politically correct!

I loved reading this in hard copy. Narrator clearly did not.

Either he didn't understand it, or he just didn't like it, but his rendition is dispassionate and utterly without character. A real shame, given the brilliance of the text, especially since it's structured as a memoir.

amazing book, bland diction

I loved every minute. The wry humour and sardonic voice, comforted me with delicious crassness from this age of sensitivity training.

Great story, fresh complex characters and a fun period of time to let my imagination run through Montreal and Paris.

A breath of rich language and cigar smoke.
