Not only is he a great narrator and director, he's also a fantastic writer. Conquest of the Useless, a collection of diary entries from the time he was making Fitzcarraldo, reads like a non-fiction Heart of Darkness. Can't recommend it highly enough.

For a supposedly difficult ateur, he comes across as approachable and pragmatic. [1] http://www.amazon.com/Herzog-Paul-Cronin/dp/0571207081/ http://www.amazon.com/Herzog-Paul-Cronin/dp/0571207081/
