Negative Positive
Title: Arrogant Biographer
Review: I liked other works by James Atlas and so ran out and bought this book as soon as it came out. I was so disappointed, since Atlas writes with a subtext of superiority--amend that: sometimes his competitive streak IS the text. Nothing I say can hold a candle to Lee Seigel's great review in The New Republic where he shows, and I agree, that Atlas--straight-laced member of the Ambitious Generation is doing a hatchet job on the masters of yore, in this case Bellow. Do not buy this book if you are a Bellow Lover.
