About this title

Review:

'Not only a compelling story of a great and flawed writer, one who continues to demand our attention, but also a portrait of an extraordinary epoch in the history of American letters.' New York Times; 'An unusually successful biography about a difficult, unusual man... As Bellow himself once argued, the only justification for a book's existence is that it absorbs you, fully and without compromise. Even when you may not want it to, this book absorbs.' The Times
