Tiny Tim
A reporter simply hangs around the ukulele novelty act until the whole strange truth comes out.
Harry Stein spent time around Tiny Tim at the height of the ukulele novelty fame, and got him talking with no apparent technique beyond persistence. What emerges is stranger and sadder than the television persona: a devout, obsessive, entirely sincere man who understood exactly what the audience wanted from him. Published in 1976 and long out of print.

An old-school gumshoe reporter with an eye for withering detail, Stein gets Tiny to spill the beans just by hanging around, and he does it with wit and affection.
