Non-Fiction Biography
In Overweight Sensation, Mark Cohen argues
persuasively for Sherman's legacy as a touchstone of postwar
humor and a turning point in Jewish American cultural
history. With exclusive access to Allan Sherman's estate,
Cohen has written the first biography of the manic,
bacchanalian, and hugely creative artist who sold three
million albums in just twelve months, yet died in obscurity
a decade later at the age of forty-nine. Comprehensive,
dramatic, stylish, and tragic, Overweight Sensation
is destined to become the definitive Sherman biography.
