James Atlas, the celebrated chronicler of Saul Bellow and Delmore Schwartz, takes us back to his own childhood in suburban Chicago, where he fell in love with literature and, early on, found in himself the impulse to study writers lives. We meet Richard Ellmann, the great biographer of James Joyce and Atlass professor during a transformative year at Oxford. We get to know Atlass first subject, the self-doomed poet Delmore Schwartz. And we are introduced to a bygone cast of intellectuals such as Edmund Wilson and Dwight Macdonald (the tall pines, as Mary McCarthy once called them, cut down now, according to Atlas, by the merciless pruning of mortality) and, of course, the elusive Bellow, a metaphysician of the ordinary.Atlas revisits the lives and works of the classical biographers, the Renaissance writers of what were then called lives, Samuel Johnson and the obsessive Boswell, and the Victorian masters Mrs. Gaskell and 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 themas fleeting as a familiar face swallowed up in a crowd.(With black-and-white illustrations throughout)...4218479The Shadow in the Garden269374https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-shadow-in-the-garden-9781101871706/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2635756/3c881ada-9c03-4f6d-9836-9c894783346d.jpg?v=638384245986770000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20179781101871706_W3siaWQiOiIwNmZlZjYwMy1hNTRkLTQwNWEtYTRmYS1hN2ZlNzBkZjY1MTgiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM1MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjk4LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjI1MiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMDY6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781101871706_The biographerso often in the shadows, kibitzing, casting doubt, proving factscomes to the stage in this funny, poignant, endearing tale of how writers lives get documented.
