Bellow by James Atlas
Described by George Walden in the Evening Standard as a 'biographical tour de force', James Atlas's long-awaited study is a magnificent portrait of the Nobel Laureate and titan of American literature, who, amongst other things, wrote Herzog, Humboldt's Gift and The Adventures of Augie March, married five times and had a child at the age of eighty-four.
'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
