"e;So Morey was the family megastar. I was the also-ran, even something of a clan pariah... I was convinced that at root I was worthless, and maybe crazy."e;"e;The Sheik and the Shadow: A Memoir of Brotherly Bond, Celebrity, and Madness"e; imparts the intertwined accounts of Bob's intense relationship with his older brother, Morey; his experience as a certified-insane patient in a then-world-renowned mental hospital (Chestnut Lodge, the setting of the book, movie, and play "e;I Never Promised You a Rose Garden"e;); and his brother's descent from extreme literary success and fame to a bizarre, reclusive end. In his mid-thirties, Morey capped his multi-millionaire business career with "e;The Search for Bridey Murphy,"e; a book that sold over 6 million copies in 30 languages across 34 countries and became a movie starring an Academy Award winner. Meanwhile, Bob was labeled schizophrenic, and locked-up with a group of creatures from his most nightmarish snake-pit fantasies. Early readers have been alternately amazed, appalled, and beguiled by the account of his confinement in this macabre setting.
