In what may be the
last photo taken of LeRoy Neiman, who died last Wednesday, the 91-year-old
artist here holds the first printed copy of his memoir, All Told: My Art
and Life Among Athletes, Playboys, Bunnies, and Provocateurs (Lyons Press),
just after he opened the package from the printer. Agent Steve Ross commented:
"He worked for over a decade on that manuscript before he hired me to help
corral it, give that wild rapscallion's story structure and discipline. It is a
wonderful book and the suitable literary legacy he'd hoped it would be--but it
took a village to make it happen in time for him to see
it."
