By page 50, we are treated to a generous recounting of his affair with Barbra Streisand, who called him a tantalizing blend of "Marlon Brando and Napoleon." ![]() The Beatles, like Trudeau, proved that "style mattered."Įnglish clearly enjoys the strange contrast of Trudeau the leader – whose discipline, will and intelligence dominated for so many years – to Trudeau the lover and starry-eyed bachelor. ![]() It was 1968 when Trudeau won the Liberal leadership convention to become prime minister. ![]() Just Watch Me reminds us how much change and conflict defined the world into which television propelled Trudeau as a sort of Canadian superstar, following the earlier days that English chronicled in his first Trudeau volume, the acclaimed Citizen of the World. ![]() The book is exhaustive and thankfully loaded with anecdote, long excerpts from Trudeau's best interviews and speeches, and personal and diary material from those who served with him and fought with him (including from my own 1987 contribution to these matters, Close to the Charisma).īest of all, English shows the full man to his fullest – steely willed visionary and dedicated lady's man. ![]() ![]() ![]() He sets up a tryst with his lover, or at least innocently believes he does.

These three are the most interesting and compelling narratives-and also the parts where VanderMeer's playful ambition appears at its most balanced. ![]() The book contains over a dozen sections of greatly varying length.
