Product: Hello Goodbye Hello: A Circle of 101 Remarkable Meetings
Hello Goodbye Hello is a daisy chain of 101 fascinating true encounters, a book that has been hailed by reviewers in London as “howlingly funny” (The Spectator), “original and a complete delight” (The Sunday Times), and “rich and hugely enjoyable” (The Guardian). Or, as the London Evening Standard put it, “the truth and nothing but the plain, bonkers, howling truth . . . It is partly a huge karmic parlour game, partly a dance to the music of chaos—and only the genius of Craig Brown could have produced it.” Who could imagine such unlikely—but true— encounters as these: 

Martha Graham meets Madonna 

Igor Stravinsky meets Walt Disney 

Frank Lloyd Wright meets Marilyn Monroe 

Marilyn Monroe meets Nikita Khrushchev 

President Richard Nixon meets Elvis Presley 

Harpo Marx meets George Bernard Shaw 

Cecil Beaton meets Mick Jagger 

Salvador Dali meets Sigmund Freud 

Groucho Marx meets T.S. Eliot 

Brilliant in conception, Hello Goodbye Hello shows how the celebrated and gifted—like the rest of us— got along famously or disastrously or indifferently with one another, but, thanks to Craig Brown, always to our amusement and entertainment. 

From an opening story in which Adolf Hitler survives being knocked down by a careless English driver in 1931 to the Duchess of Windsor’s meeting with the Führer over tea, and 99 others in between, Hello Goodbye Hello is the perfect example that truth is stranger than fiction (and infinitely more enjoyable).
