Status Updates From FAKE! -- Adventures of the ...

Watched the Orson Welles movie based on this a few years ago. The source material is much more novelistic so far than I was expecting for non-fiction

I liked this very much. It's not fiction. I knew both Fernand Legros and Real Lessard and spent a summer with them in Cannes in 1962. I met them in Switzerland at the Lycee Jacquard. He was visiting Urbach with the boy's mother. In Fake, I discovered that Urbach and his brother were living with the actual forger, Elmyr de Hory in Ibizia. There's another book worth reading, by Mark Forgy, "The Forger's Apprentice".
