Title: One of our finest biographers
Product review: Atlas is one of America's finest biographers. His pioneering work on the life of Delmore Schwartz was followed by his exhaustively researched work on Saul Bellow. This book took Atlas eleven years, and in the course of it a bit of his friendship with Bellow as Atlas insisted on telling the truth about Bellow's complex personal life. Atlas also has written a memoir " Life in the Middle Ages" in which he talks about his childhood, his parents , and above all about the complexities of being 'middle- aged' and responsible in America of today. The Chicago- bred author long - worked for the NY Times, has been an editor of a major biography series but his first professional credential is again that he is an outstanding biographer.
