George Bernard Shaw

flashback

Cantankerous Saint George, who appears to be well on his way to canonization in this photo, was once accused by Vanity Fair of "wanting to be understood, so that it may be inferred that he is not afraid of being understood." Sixty-five years later, all fears should be allayed. The fourth and final volume of Michael Holroyd's monumental Shavian biography, Bernard Shaw: The Last Laugh 1951-1991, is out this month from Random House.
