This is an exceptional biography of one of the most interesting authors of the nineteenth century. His lives as journalist and fiction author were both succesful and rewarding to a point. Some of his short stories are classics of the form and he inspired subsequent authors who created great tales as well. It is unfortunate that many know him only for his "Devil's Dictionary" or his sudden disappearance at the end of his life.
Morris has created a thrilling narrative and compelling portrait of one of the greatest of American poets. Focusing on Whitman's time spent as nurse and chronicler of the Civil War the work presents a particularly thorough and informative account of his activities during that period. Overall it is a balanced and insightful portrait of a complex man discovering himself and his poetry through the injured sons of the nation he loved.
Gertrude Stein lived and wrote during the first half of the twentieth century - a fascinating period - and I've long wanted to read more about her life and perhaps even her writing (through I suspect I'd be among the many who simply don't understand it). This book covers her entire life, although the focus is on her 1930s literary tour of the United States. It makes for a fascinating read, as Gertrude Stein manages to encounter so many important and interesting people, while also enjoying her own taste of fame. I loved the characterization of her relationship with Alice Toklas and the way the couple managed to both be together and also not explain their relationship in an less accepting era. Overall, this book left me wanting to learn more about Gertrude Stein and I would recommend it to anyone interested in this time period.… (altro)

We may never know what happened to him at the end. He probably did not end up in Mexico, according to the author.
