The Happiest Man Alive: A Biography of Henry Miller
Mary V. Dearborn

Touchstone Books, 1992

Another version of a seemingly enigmatic life
People generally speak of this bio when talking about "the good ones" on Henry Miller. I disagree. While in-depth, many facts listed are incorrect because of a lack of checking (although many checkers were used) with factual records. Dearborne's biggest angle seems to ...
  
  











  



  
Mailer: A Biography
Mary V Dearborn

Mariner Books, 2001

If you wonder about Modern Artists and I do,
Norman Mailer is the Ultimate Bad Boy. Jay McInerny and Bret Easton Ellis are nothing compared to Norman. He paved the way and it's really interesting to read about the life of someone who has made it as a bad boy. The women who fall for him, the publishers who pay ...

Crazy Cock
Henry Miller, Mary V. Dearborn

Grove Press, 1994

"The Master" at work...
Miller is undeniably one of the literary giants. This is a wonderful and enlightening insight into his sourjorn to that height. It's far from perfect, but to any hardcore Miller fan it will be a treat. They will get a real sense of "the master" chipping away at the ...
  
  











  



  
Mistress of Modernism: The Life of Peggy Guggenheim
Mary V. Dearborn

Houghton Mifflin, 2004

great overview of The life and times of modern art lover, Peggy Guggenhiem
This is an enjoyable read. I was interested in reading it after reading "The Rape of Euorpa" and "Duveen" it made sense to wonder what had become of the art/artists that were rescued from the WWII Nazi-occupation of Europe.
