Negative Positive
Title: One of my favorite books of all time.
Review: To see how one our earth's greatest artists had to struggle with "clients" such as the Pope is cathartic. Irving Stone is one of our best contemporary writers, in my opinion. His Lust for Life, another great artistic biography. Just so much timeless humanity on every page. I'm in awe of his research and distillation abilities. He brings history - and art and culture and politics and philosophy - TO LIFE! This should be required reading in schools. It's a great, great book. Shall be on my top ten, I think, for life.
