Nick Tosches on Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis

I’m in the middle of Nick Tosches’ biography of Dean Martin, Dino: Living High in the Dirty Business of Dreams, and it is a fabulous book. Tosches obviously did not want to write a celebrity biography or even a biography, as such. Dino is more like a social history of a celebrity that uses the hollow figure of “Dean Martin” to show how meaningless these simulacra of human beings called celebrities
