In 65 short stories, the author describes his encounters with renowned artists: Tony Corinca, John Calvert, Gene Anderson, David Copperfield, Max Maven, Paul Gertner, Siegfried & Roy, Dai Vernon, and many others. In his autobiography of these encounters, Wittus Witt reveals a great deal about himself. While we learn a great deal about the people he discusses, some of it very intimate, such as homosexual advances, he always remains fair and, for the most part, lets his colleagues off lightly.
He's much more self-critical, writing about mistakes he's made and behaviors he later regretted. This openness reveals a Wittus Witt that many people can't imagine. He also writes about his own vulnerability and how he's always had a bit of a hard time with relationships.
Here, in addition to the artist, Wittus Witt's personality, a figure he had previously neglected, becomes particularly evident. This humane approach, combined with the idea of writing an autobiography through encounters, makes this book something truly special among the world of autobiographies.
