Publisher's Note
A vivid oral biography of the late Eugene Walter describes his Southern roots and its influence on his life, his journey to Greenwich Village in the late-1940s, experiences in 1950s Parisian expatriate cafe society and 1960s Rome, and his encounters with such luminaries as William Faulkner, Martha Graham, Judy Garland, and Marcello Mastroianni.

Industry reviews
"Eugene Walter was utterly unknown to me until I picked up MILKING THE MOON, looking for something to review for a slow Sunday in August. Well. All unwittingly, I was ushered into what can only be called a state of enchantment. I read for hours, not marching through the pages at the professional reviewer's accustomed brisk pace but lingering over and savoring each sentence. More often than I can count, I burst out laughing. At book's end I wanted nothing more than several hundred more pages in the company of this amazing man for whom the phrase sui generis clearly was coined, this unimaginably free spirit, this 'centrifugal' force who 'always [ended] up in the middle of something.'"
Washington Post Book World - Jonathan Yardley (08/19/2001)

"Every anecdote here offers a surprising and serendipitous angle on a famous personage, whether Walter knew that person well or not."
New York Times Book Review - Bill Goldstein (11/18/2001)

"This is a book to pick up and browse in whenever you need a quick lesson on how to live life to the fullest."
Salon - Laura Miller (03/11/2002)
