“Most biographies are built around a series of abiding questions. They are often the same questions, such as, Did you love her? or Were you happy? or Didn’t he know that was a mistake? It is in their nature, and their beauty, that such questions can never be satisfied. There may be answers, but they are usually too many, or too terrific–‘Rosebud’ is one of those great answers that makes it harder to know the question.”
David Thomson, Rosebud: The Story of Orson Welles
