"This guy was a real brat but a genious and way ahead of his time. His poetry was written between age 15 and 19 and then he stopped forever and began doing other things like traveling through trade routes in Africa. I thought it was a great biography and I recommend it. Facinatingly bizarre!"
"Great biog of the child genius, with plenty of discussion of the importance of his poetry etc, but I think the bit when he gives it all up and goes off to Africa to become a gun runner is just as good, if not better..."
"Not that I would want Rimbaud as a next-door neighbor, but Robb's biography is the next best thing. What an interesting, unsettling person Rimbaud must have been! Robb gives us very clear views of his temperament, personality, obsessions, drives and motivations - just what I look for in a biography."
