4.0 out of 5 stars
readable, humorous, fictionalized memoir,
By L. Karam (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Which way to Mecca, Jack? (Hardcover)
I read this book about 25 years ago. While I don't remember all of it, impressions remain of the colorful images his prose painted of his immigrant family and his own antics. He tells the tale of his impersonation of a Middle Eastern prince on vacation in Hollywood, strewing fake jewels as he ostentatiously breezed through town. (I remember watching the Groucho Marx game show You Bet Your Life and seeing Blatty persist with that impersonation until just before the end of his segment, when he 'fessed up. Part of that stunt is portrayed in the book as well.)He's a good storyteller, as his Exorcist and other writings bear out. |
