James Atlas, the celebrated chronicler of Saul Bellow & Delmore Schwartz, takes us back to his own childhood in suburban Chicago, where he fell in love with literature &, early on, found in himself the impulse to study writers' lives. We meet Richard Ellmann, the great biographer of James Joyce & Atlas's professor during a trans-formative year at Oxford. We get to know Atlas's first subject, the "self-doomed" poet Delmore Schwartz. And we are introduced to a bygone cast of intellectuals such as Edmund Wilson & Dwight Macdonald (the "tall pines", as Mary McCarthy once called them, cut down now, according to Atlas, by the "merciless pruning of mortality") &, of course, the elusive Bellow, "a meta-physician of the ordinary". Atlas revisits the lives and works of the classical biographers, the Renaissance writers of what were then called "lives", Samuel Johnson & the obsessive Boswell, & the Victorian masters Mrs. Gaskell & Thomas Carlyle. And in what amounts to a pocket history of his own literary generation, Atlas celebrates the biographers who hoped to glimpse an image of them?"as fleeting as a familiar face swallowed up in a crowd". * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: JAMES ATLAS is the author of "Bellow: A Biography", "Delmore Schwartz: The Life of an American Poet" (nominated for the National Book Award), & the memoir "My Life in the Middle Ages: A Survivor's Tale". The founder of the Lipper-Viking Penguin Lives series, Atlas was for many years an editor at The New York Times, first at the book review and later at the magazine. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Review of Books, Vanity Fair, & other journals. He lives in New York City. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
