In this, the first biography of this extraordinarily complex comedian (then 1996), Jonathan Margolis looks at the man behind the act from his boyhood in Manchester to the height of his fame when he topped the bill at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas.But most of all, Margolis investigates the enormous contradictions as the public Manning, reviled and reprehensibly racist, stands at complete odds with the private, generous and melancholic man.What drives this millionaire workaholic? Is he, in short, a monster or a comic genius? These are a few of the questions Jonathan Margolis addresses in his absorbing portrait of this fascinating, contradictory man.
