A quirky but interesting biography

This biography cannot be compared to the much more thorough, objective and authoritative biography by James Atlas. It is a quirky personal look by a former Bellow student, and close reader. She reveals certain not especially flattering personal details, but generally her approach is admiring and appreciative. One of the works to be definitely skimmed thorugh by anyone interested in seeing how the 'life ' influences 'the work' of Bellow.
