Review:
"'Magnificently comprehensive and brilliantly constructed' The Times (Books) 'Bailey's book, so densely researched and chattily peopled, is not just the biography of one writer's heroic struggle to be himself, but a portrait of a distinct literary scene.' The Guardian (Review) 'Blake Bailey tells this dispiriting story with humour, tact and insight...He makes a convincing case for the permanent value of Yates' best work...' Sunday Telegraph (Review)"
