Every Man for Himself and God against All

PRAISE FOR EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF AND GOD AGAINST ALLWerner 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 *Herzog’s 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 *
