![]() ![]() Although the text incorporates a great deal of material (much of it never available before), one never has the sense that that material has simply been collected and exhibited. ![]() Milford’s book is not exhaustive in that sense. Nor is it to suggest that she has assembled one of those infinitely tedious and unwieldy compendiums (largely unreadable despite reliable testimony to their status as “definitive”) which we have come to accept in lieu of biographies in recent years. Milford has written a book about the Fitzgeralds that allows us to confuse ourselves with them. ![]() For even though the progressive revelation seems to be the work of fate, we are somehow convinced that it is also undeniably a product of our own efforts at comprehension: consequently, the act of finding meaning in Zelda’s experience serves to make that experience seem part of our own.īut that is not to say that Mrs. The book’s spellbinding power results from the way it makes the working out of Zelda’s tortured, enigmatic life a task which we ourselves must attempt to perform as well as a process which we helplessly witness. ![]() Nancy Milford’s biography of Zelda Fitzgerald brings us into an awareness of its subject so intense it seems unmediated by the personality of a biographer. ![]()

"I'm protesting at Pfizer today because it's sickening that they're celebrating record profits while refusing to share the technology with countries in the Global South who could manufacture these lifesaving medications," said Tarun Gidwani, a member of the Global Justice Now Youth Network.

But the religious are generally terribly arrogant, so it is best not to feel insulted by their endless insults – they know not what they do. There is some fluff at the start in which atheism is ‘discussed’ (read, discarded) as something people inevitably give up on with their dying breath. The book is written by a member of that class of people who are my least favourite a religious person who cannot conceive of someone not being religious.

I’m going to have to assume you have read this book, as if I don’t I won’t be able to say anything about it at all. So, being told a book is a winner of the Booker tends to be a mark against it from the start, unfortunately. The only Carey I haven’t liked won the Booker ( Oscar and Lucinda), I really didn’t like the little bit of Vernon God Little I read and I never finished The Sea despite really liking Banville’s writing. I tend to avoid the winners of the Man / Booker – they make me a little depressed.
