Just before his death, Rosenthal completed his autobiography "By Jack
Rosenthal" (Robson Books, 2005). According to the publishers: "Jack
Rosenthal had always resisted writing an autobiography, until he hit on
an original way of writing it that excited him: it would be as a
screenplay, with himself as the central character, the storyline that
of his own life, the supporting cast drawn from the many wonderful and
sometimes eccentric people who touched, shaped and shared that
life".
