Many of those who knew the intimate Charlie Chaplin documented his life and their perceptions of him in their writings. One of the most fascinating and revealing of these accounts has, until now, been available only in French. May Reeves' portrait of Chaplin (as told to Claire Goll) covers their year-long relationship during his 19311932 vacation in Europe. The enigmatic actress and dancer Reeves, in chronicling her relationship with Chaplin, both elaborates on and offers contrasts to the popular impressions of her brilliant travelling companion. Constance Brown Kuriyama has translated Reeves' original Charlie Chaplin Intime into English, and also includes an introduction, and a translation of reminiscences by Chaplin's press agent, Carlyle T. Robinson, which until now have also been difficult to obtain.
Author Biography: May Reeves first published her memoir in Paris in 1935. Constance Brown Kuriyama is an associate professor of English at Texas Tech University. She has written for such publications as Film Quarterly and Limelight. She lives in Lubbock, Texas.

The Intimate Charlie Chaplin
Took me a while to read through this, as it's both dated (originally published prior to GHOSTS OF MARS) and a fairly surface-level recounting of Carpenter's filmography.
Here's what the films are, here's what critics thought of them at the time, here's what the author thinks, etc. And it's fine, it's exactly the kind of reference book I like to page through when I'm listening to music or something, but the definitive book on Carpenter has yet to be written.
