Taki Theodoracopulos

The Last Alpha Male is the latest—and perhaps greatest—offering from Taki Theodoracopulos, the legendary Greek bon vivant, rake, and chronicler of 20th-century high society. Taki, our “Poor Little Greek Boy,” recounts a life dedicated to beautiful women, adventure, relentless mischief, and bucking the petty, self-emasculating demands of political correctness. Born to privilege and trained early in the arts of charm and excess, Taki’s irrepressible spirit has led him from Riviera soirées with Porfirio Rubirosa and Brigitte Bardot to battlefields, courtrooms, and sensuous nightclubs across the globe. Along the way, he hobnobbed with princes and presidents, outran husbands, scandalized feminists, and wrote about it all with his trademark wit and fearlessness as The Spectator’s legendary High Life columnist. But beneath the tales of romantic conquest and misadventure, Taki weaves a sharp but nonetheless humorous commentary on today’s joyless age of liberal scolds, conservative prudes, and fading masculinity. For newcomers, this memoir is the perfect introduction to the wit, charm, and unrepentant joie de vivre that has made Taki beloved (and infamous) for decades. Longtime fans will delight in fresh gossip, old grudges, and his playful settling of scores. The Last Alpha Male is Taki at his very best: bold, irreverent, insightful, and endlessly entertaining. If you believe life should be lived unapologetically, if you can imagine our stiff public figureheads “but different,” pour yourself a drink, settle in, and let Taki remind you what we’ve all been missing.
