"Fascinating . . . A compulsive read. Shawn Levy is one of our best popular culture journalist-historians." -- Lewis MacAdams, author of Birth of the Cool: Beat, Bebop and the American Avant Garde"Levy goes beyond the glitz to see Rubirosa as a product of a particular time and place...a perfect tribute." -- Publishers Weekly"A terrific story about a fascinating character." -- John Malkovich"Shawn Levy has written more than a good book--this is an irresistible read. Hollywood will soon come knocking." -- Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History and Director of the Roosevelt Center at Rulane University"A compelling piece of social history...written in a breezy style perfectly suitable for conjuring Rubirosa's seductive personality." -- Booklist"As Shawn Levy amply documents in his bubbly, breathless and appropriately inconsequential biography, Rubirosa worked hard at having fun." -- New York Times"A fitting elegy for a forgotten boldfaced name and a thoughtful study of mid-20th-century Pan-American politics." -- Entertainment Weekly
