With a town like Savannah, who needs Fellini? Takes two narrative strands, each worthy of its own book, and weaves them together to make a single fascinating tale. The first is John Berendt's loving depiction of the characters who prowled Savannah in the eight years it was his home away from home. On May 2, 1981, the book's second story commences, when Jim Williams, a wealthy antique dealer and Savannah's host with the most, kills his 'friend' Danny Hansford. Was it self-defense, as Williams claimed - or murder? The book sketches four separate trials, during which the dark side of this genteel party town is well and truly plumbed" (Publishers Weekly) . The basis of the fine film adaptation by Clint Eastwood, with brilliant performances by Kevin Spacey (Before The Fall) , John Cusack, the very young (and unrecognizable) Jude Law, and an outstanding supporting cast. An absolute "must-have" title for John Berendt collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 2500 copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Front Limitation Page. It is very prominently and beautifully signed in black fountain pen by John Berendt. This title is a great book.
