Pro Bernal Anti Bio

I think the magic of a good biography lies in being able to nearly perfect the mannerisms and the behaviors espoused by its subject in question. This book delivers it in a convincing fashion, in light of the disjointed state that Angela Stuart-Santiago had to work with given the breadth of material she has at her disposal, but not a solid foundation to work with (meaning, little existing formations of a biography only).

Would love to keep digging through this book in the future if I need to do a research on Bernal. The guy is a cultural savant with a loose cannon and a lot of angry musings and whimsicality tied to his character. Much of the interviews and written accounts from him and Jorge Arago reflect that claim.
