　　As a movie actress Lucille Ball was, in her own words, “queen

of the B-pluses.” But on the small screen she was a

superstar–arguably the funniest and most enduring in the history of

TV. In this exemplary biography, Stefan Kanfer explores the roots

of Lucy’s genius and places it in the context of her conflicted and

sometimes bitter personal life.

Ball of Fire gives us Lucy in all her contradicti***. Here is the

beauty who became a master of knock-down slapstick; the control

freak whose comic alter ego thrived on chaos, the worshipful TV

housewife whose real marriage ended in public disaster. Here, too,

is an intimate view of the dawn of television and of the America

that embraced it. Charming, informative, touching. and

laugh-out-loud funny, this is the book Lucy’s fans have been

waiting for.

媒体评论

　　?Among Stefan Kanfer?s gifts as a biographer are scrupulous

research, fine judgement, and a critical knowledge of the wider

world. But what sets him apart is his sense of music, which allows

him to see the inexpressible. In Ball of Fire he gives us Lucy,

whose life was hard and collapsible, yet who enchanted us because

she was the music.?

　　?Roger Rosenblatt

Kanfer also illuminates the inner turmoil...Kanfer gently conveys

how great she was and how small she could be.?
