"A rounded and revelatory portrait of this hugely important figure.
. . . Much of this book is comprised of the fascinating
recollections and insights of Lambirth's many interviewees and
correspondents from the worlds of art and culture that Robertson
inhabited. They are combined with the author's own contextual
interpolations, and selected examples of Robertson's writings on
art. Altogether, this much-needed volume presents an engrossing
picture of a brilliant maverick: a man by turns immensely generous,
hilariously funny and wildly infuriating."
