This work offers a critical biography and analysis of the varied literary output of novels, short stories, screenplays, poetry, articles and essays of the American writer Terry Southern. The book explores Southern's career from his early days in Paris with friends like Samuel Beckett, to swinging London in such company as the Rolling Stones, to filmmaking in Los Angeles and Europe with luminaries like Stanley Kubrick. His writings are examined in chronological order.

David Tully was granted unprecedented access by Terry Southern's family to rare, unpublished work from his private archives. This study offers the first comprehensive examination of the career of this major American writer.

David Tully is a screenwriter living in Dubai. He has taught at New York University, worked in the film industry in Los Angeles and South Africa, and written for television in Manhattan and Munich. He currently has several films in production.
