BooksFitzgerald and Hemingway: Works and Days
Less brief description goes here Edwin Arlington Robinson: A Poet's Life
Based on hitherto unavailable letters and the cooperation of family members, this biography tells the absorbing story of this great American poet for the first time. Donaldson spent seven years working on the book, investing more time, energy, and love in the project than for any of his previous biographies. In the end he concluded that E.A. Robinson was not only a wonderful writer but a remarkably fine human being. Hemingway vs. Fitzgerald
"Donaldson distills a lifetime of research to tell the story of Scott and Ernest, whose lives and times defined modern American writing. Told with style, grace, and clarity, Hemingway vs. Fitzgerald is a model for what compelling biography should accomplish." --Michael Reynolds, author of five-volume Hemingway biography John Cheever: A Biography
"I can’t read trash books. If the quality of prose isn’t really high, I can’t get engaged. I would say, though, that John Cheever: A Biography by Scott Donaldson is as readable and ‘unputdownable’ as any thriller would be for me..." --T. Coraghessan Boyle, novelist Fool for Love: F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Donaldson’s book is a notable achievement in the field of American literary biography...and the most penetrating psychological examination of the author ever written." --James L.W. West III, critic, biographer,
and editor of Fitztgerald’s works |
