"Peppiatt writes perceptively about Bacon's endlessly contradictory nature, his generosity and cruelty, his violence and tenderness, his dandyism and love of squalor, his spectacular dissipation and iron self-discipline, and what he called his ''exhilarated despair''." -- Lewis Jones, "Daily Telegraph"
