Dreadful by David Margolick
American author John Horne Burns (1916-1953) led a brief and controversial life, and as a writer, transformed many of his darkest experiences into literature. Dreadful follows Burns, from his education at the best schools to his final years of drinking and depression in Italy. With intelligence and insight, David Margolick examines Burns' moral ambivalence toward the behaviour of American soldiers stationed with him in Naples, and the scandal surrounding his second novel, Lucifer with a Book (1949), an unflattering portrayal of his experiences at Loomis.Strange Fruit: The Biography of a Song (Harper Perennial, 2001), Beyond Glory: Joseph Louis vs. David Margolick is the author of five books, including Strange Fruit: The Biography of a Song (Harper Perennial, 2001), Beyond Glory: Joe Louis vs. David Margolick (Harper Perennial, 2001), and Beyond Glory: Joe Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Ladies of Little Rock (Yale University Press, 2011) and Max Schmeling and a World on the Brink (Vintage, 2006).
