A Biography
Peter Cook was perhaps the most dazzling product of his generation: a comedian and iconoclast who had conquered Broadway, the West End and British television by the time he was twenty-eight. Twenty years later, his partnership with Dudley Moore long dissolved and with two marriages in tatters, Cook had become a recluse, severely addicted to alcohol and uninterested in work. Harry Thompson has produced the first ever comprehensive biography of this influential and fascinating subject who came up with some of the funniest sketches and greatest jokes of all time.
