'Handling Edna' is a behind-the-scenes,candid and authoritative account of the life and career of Edna Everage - superstar,confidante and adviser to royalty, Hollywood (and Bollywood) stars,international political leaders, heads of state and various Popes.
From the days when she was a humble Moonee Ponds housewife to the stratospheric life she now leads from London to Louisiana, New York to Tokyo,this exhaustively researched story of her roller-coaster career is told by the man who has been there from the very beginning - Barry Humphries.Barry knows everything - the who,the why and the where - and,in this much anticipated work,he reveals all for the very first time.Edna herself will not like this book, but it is essential reading for scholars, female achievers,fans of Dame Edna and those who feel that behind the fairytale career lies a darker and more disturbing story.
