He

An extraordinary reimagining of the life of the one of the greatest screen comedians the world has ever known: a man who knew both adoration and humiliation; who loved, and was loved in turn; who betrayed, and was betrayed; who never sought to cause pain to others, yet left a trail of affairs and broken marriages in his wake.

And whose life was ultimately defined by one relationship of such tenderness and devotion that only death could sever it: his partnership with the man he knew as Babe.

*he* is Stan Laurel. But* he* did not really exist. Stan Laurel was a fiction.

With *he*, John Connolly recreates the golden age of Hollywood for an intensely compassionate study behind one of the most enduring and beloved partnerships in cinema history: Laurel & Hardy.
