"Jerry Torre's touching and at times haunting memoir about his teenage days as caretaker of Grey Gardens, the now-celebrated mansion chronicled in the iconic documentary Grey Gardens and two feature-length films. What begins as a teenager coming upon what he assumed was an old, abandoned house, takes on new dimensions when suddenly Edie Beale appears on the porch draped in a shower curtain with an apron tied around her head. Rather than chasing him away, she invites Jerry to meet her mother upstairs. So begins a strange and unusually close frindship with the two women. This is a behind-the-scenes look at "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" and the bizarre and reclusive life of squalor amidst the tremendous weath of East Hampton, the family bond that developed between Jerry and them, and the day everything was turned upside down forever, with the arrival of documentary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles."--Publisher.… (plus d'informations)

The memoirs of Jerry Torre, "the Marble Faun", as Little Edie called him. I applaud the effort of additional Grey Gardens information. The little snippets we glean from Jerry's memories are like gold nuggets unearthed after years in the shadows. However, I do think that some of Jerry's memories are taken directly from the films, as these are produced almost word-for-word. In another instance, Jerry mentions Lee Radziwill and Peter Beard and their filming project which preceded Grey Gardens. He said that they only came for one day. However, when you watch their project "That Summer", you quickly realize that it would have been impossible for them to be there in only one day. In this instance, I feel that Jerry's memories are incomplete and in some cases clash with Lois Wright's book about the Beales. Another drawback for me was reading about Jerry's sexual life. I don't think this should have been included in the book. Still, it's a worthwhile read for anyone hungry for more of the Beales of Grey Gardens. ( )
