"For over a century, who (or what) James Castle was (or is) has been dependent on mis- and disinformation, incomplete biography, linguistic misunderstandings, and unavailable medical reports. The new edition of this biography addresses these deficiencies. Containing rare documents and photographs, reports on newly discovered artifacts, exclusive interviews with Castle's family and childhood friends, as well as the latest testimony of contemporary art and medical experts, James Castle, His Life and Art is the essential source about this remarkable American artist."--Back cover.
