Kenneth Williams book

The great man is - apparently - the subject of a new book. Remembered
Laughter is written by James Ruddick, who describes himself as an
investigative journalist. His website says he finished writing the book
in 2006 and his website features the book cover with Kenny looking
brooding and handsome.

Kenny's fans are promised an explanation of his career and life - just
how did the classically trained actor end up as a camp turn on chat
shows and panel games? Why could a man so in search of love never commit
himself to anyone else?

The only biography so far on Kenneth was written a year after his death
and without the benefit of his letters and diaries. The book promises
new revelations from unpublished letters and diary extracts.

Nevertheless it's not yet on the market as far as I can see. The
writer's website links to Amazon but clicking that link takes you
nowhere.

I feel Kenneth deserves a better book than the one so far. His life
remains something of a mystery and certainly his death deserves some
scrutiny from an investigative journalist. I hope the book does hit the
market.

Maybe it's due for publication in conjunction with the 20th anniversary
of Kenneth's death, which is next month.
