Bellow - Tapa blanda

'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

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.
