'Drawing over a hundred interviews and a wealth of new sources (private diaries, unpublished letters, archives of the CIA, MI5, the French Surete, the German and Soviet Communist Parties), Michael Scammell gives a nuanced unsentimental account of Koestler's turbulent public and private life: his drug use, manic depression, the frenetic womanizing that led to an accusation of rape, and the shocking suicide pact with this third wife in 1983. But he also makes the case for Koestler's stature as a major autobiographer and essayist as well as novelist. In doing so he creates a complex and indelible portrait of this brilliant, unpredictable and talented writer, memorably described by one MI5 interrogator, as 'one-third blackguard, one-third lunatic, and one-third genius'.
