Richard Ellmann's James Joyce, published in 1959, has been called "the greatest literary biography of the twentieth century." Ellmann's Joyce provides the biography of the biography-an eye-opening account of how Ellmann's book came to be, the intrigue surrounding it, and its enduring impact on the study and making of literary lives.

When this second volume of The Life of Saul Bellow opens, Bellow, at forty-nine, is at the pinnacle of American letters - rich, famous, critically acclaimed. In this volume, his life away from the desk, including his love life, is if anything more dramatic than in volume 1.

2015 will mark the centenary of Saul Bellow's birth as well as the tenth anniversary of his death. Leader has been granted unprecedented access to Bellow's papers, including much previously restricted material and has conducted interviews with Bellow's relatives, close friends, colleagues and lovers.
