Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. A fascinating read, even if you are not interested in DT. On the surface, a story of wretched excess and inevitable self-destruction, but even in this entirely one-sided account one senses an anxious, self- serving agenda. It was keenly interesting to later read the accounts of Thomas' family, who regard Brinnin as an exploitative hanger-on who added character assassination to his almost criminal failure to help the dying poet. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
The Welsh poet arrived in New York on his first visit, in 1950, for a programme of readings all over the country. Angelic, devilish, charming, doubting his inner resources for further poetry and pursued by an urge to self-destruction, given to alcoholic binges, he was not what the sober world of American academe expected. The students loved him, though after his first two or three encounters with them, the girls had to be protected. And he made immediate friends with many American writers, journalists and barflies, creating a pop culture mythology of the doomed artist for the late 20th century. This book captures Dylan Thomas's last few years. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
