Story4.5 out of 5 stars 77
The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens is Jerry Torre's touching and at times haunting memoir about his teenage days as caretaker of Grey Gardens, the now-celebrated mansion chronicled in the iconic documentary Grey Gardens and two feature-length films. The book, cowritten with film historian Tony Maietta, is a behind-the-scenes look at "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" and their bizarre and reclusive life of squalor amidst the tremendous wealth of East Hampton, the family bond that developed between Jerry and them, and the day everything was turned upside down forever.

I highly recommend it. The co-author-narrator Tony really brings the story to life.

Such a wonderful listen! I am lucky enough to know Jerry Torre. We would message back-and-forth on Facebook. I was so thrilled to connect Jerry with two friends who helped Jerry bring his book to Palm Springs along with the screening of Grey Gardens to so many fans and friends. It was so wonderful to finally meet in person. I love all things, Grey Gardens. The films the play, and the HBO movie. 💙
