Chandler's life and career, attention to drinking Hiney on Chandler is as good as it gets. Somewhere in that book, Chandler is quoted as saying that those men who stand up in a line abreast and walk forward into live machine-gun fire gain a perspective on life that those who haven't done it never achieve. My guess is that recovery from such an experience involves copious amounts of booze, countless reams of paper, and the occasional company of others who survived a similar adventure. Contains relatively little about his writing process, focusing instead on what was going on in his life. By page count, most attention paid to his latter years when most of his output was behind him. How he managed to function at all in the latter stages of his alcoholism boggles the mind. One of the most intriguing throwaways was that apparently Dr. Seuss was a drinking buddy. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
For this major new biography, Tom Hiney has had access to unseen personal papers, as well as previously unrecorded reminiscences by those who knew Chandler well. In the light of new discoveries a rawer, more complex, brilliant, and twisted Chandler emerges. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
