Now the Major Motion Picture Genius , Starring Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman and Jude Law.
The National Book Award winner from Pulitzer-Prize winning author A.
Scott Berg.
The talents he nurtured were known worldwide: F.
Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and numerous others.
But Maxwell Perkins remained a mystery, a backstage presence who served these authors not only as editor but also as critic, career manager, moneylender, psychoanalyst, father-confessor, and friend.
This outstanding biography, a winner of the National Book Award, is the first to explore the fascinating life of this genius editor extraordinare --in both the professional and personal domains.
It tells not only of Perkin's stormy marriage, endearing eccentricities, and secret twenty-five-year romance with Elizabeth Lemmon, but also of his intensely intimate relationships with the leading literary lights of the twentieth century.
It is, in the words of Newsweek , an admirable biography of a wholly admirable man.
