The essays in book are often thin and mean spirited. They feel more like reading a rhetorical argument to support political and cultural postures than an instructive account of a life well - or ill - lived; more like how the author feels about the subject than how and why the subject lived as s/he did. Since it is identified as essays in biography I was expecting more of the latter. I don't recommend it.
