Every Man for Himself and God against All

PRAISE FOR EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF AND GOD AGAINST ALL Werner Herzog's life story reads like a Hollywood film * Daily Telegraph * Most film memoirs are boring because film-makers don't have a life outside film. But Herzog has lived the nine lives of a cat ... and his book actually gets more interesting the further it gets from the big films * Sunday Times *Book of the Week* * Herzogs memoir is as intense, surprising and wacky as his films, with a real sense of reason underlying all the madness and eccentricity * New Statesman, *Books of the Year* * A visionary masterpiece * John Gray, New Statesman * A joyous, fulfilling read there are some terrific, wild stories [Herzog] has lived an extreme and extraordinary life * Observer * A fascinating glimpse into the mind of an original, anarchic filmmaker. His family tales are weird and funny ... and he gives revealing accounts of his professional career and acting roles on hit shows such as The Simpsons and The Mandalorian * The Independent * A bracing dive into the film-maker's darkly beguiling mind ... The glory of this book is that Herzog lets us see him making the world up. He writes throughout with enviable attention to the world around him [and] demands that we wonder at the tangible world, in all its mystery. * Guardian * [Every Man for Himself and God Against All is] an evocative, shocking encounter with a man who has experienced life at its most extreme * Daily Telegraph * [Herzog's] new book is a hypnotic series of recollections and visions that you cannot help but read in that iconic voice ... It's a journey through the heart of Herzog, with Herzog at the wheel * Empire * [Herzog] really is a kind of genius * Spectator *
