With this book "Donaldson continues to show himself as a beacon in American literary scholarship, a major voice with an awareness of the interconnectedness between biography and criticism." - Joseph Fruscione, American Literary Scholarship 2009

Edwin Arlington Robinson: A Poet's Life
"For too long Edwin Arlington Robinson has been consigned to the ranks of peripheral poets. Scott Donaldson -- a gifted biographer -- has brought this remarkable man and his poetry vividly to life." --Jay Parini, poet/novelist/biographer

Hemingway vs. Fitzgerald
"...fresh, risky, talky, bold, and ultimately brilliant. We close [the book] deeply satisfied that we’ve read all there is to know about the men."

--Denise Gess, Raleigh News and Observer

"John Cheever: A Biography is clearly an indispensable book."

--Dan Cryer, Newsday
