#TBRtemptation post! I should've known there was a biography out about GGM! Is it just me, or are biographies (and memoirs) about writers the best in the genre? I just love learning about where they've gotten their ideas from 😁👏🏻!!! Definitely going to be reading this one. Any other writer/publisher biographies you can recommend to this chap? I'd be most thankful 😊. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
LauraBeth Read his autobiography/memoir, Living To Tell The Tale (translated by Edith Grossman) - it's amazing 😀 (edited) 8y
Dogearedcopy You might be interested in 'Cheever: A Life' (by Blake Bailey; audio narrated by Malcolm Hillgartner.) I felt it was extremely well done in presenting the man without resorting to ugliness *or* hagiography. Disclosure: I worked on the audio (studio engineer/director); and am acquainted with Ben Cheever (Not promoting or bragging; but most probably biased.)![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Cheevermegnews Lee Smith's Dimestore was very good. And you can definitely see her life in her novels after you read it. I am currently reading Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin. Excellent so far. Also plan to read Alice Walker's Chicken Chronicles this year. (edited) 8y
