I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
It's one of the best biographies I've ever read. You seriously have to get this book.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Justine it really is one of the best biographies i have ever read. Very well-written, very inspiring, and brilliant!
