Mae West: It Ain't No Sin by Simon Louvish is the wonderfully outrageous biography of one of the most fascinating characters Hollywood has ever produced.
Simon Louvish was born in Glasgow in 1947 and misspent his youth growing up in Israel between 1949 and 1968, including a stint as an army cameraman from 1965 to 1967.Having decamped to the London School of Film Technique in 1968, Simon became involved in the production of a series of independent documentary films about apartheid in South Africa, dictatorship in Greece, and general mayhem in Israel-Palestine from 1969 to 1973. He also published a memoir of his Israeli days entitled A Moment of Silence in 1979. Since 1985 Simon has published a series of novels set mainly in the Middle East, including the acclaimed Blok trilogy (The Therapy of Avram Blok, City of Blok and The Last Trump of Avram Blok), and a number of thrillers and fantasies, including The Death of Moishe-Ganef, The Silencer, Resurrections from the Dustbin of History, and What's Up, God?.
