A collection of six essays blends memoir and biography, exploring the author's life and passion for uncovering historical mysteries, featuring diverse figures such as a Buddhist hermit and a Black Power martyr.

A moving and penetrating memoir of a life in biography from the Pulitzer Prize winner and “gifted storyteller” (Judith Thurman, The New Yorker).Megan Marshall’s innovative books, including&nbsp;The Peabody Sisters&nbsp;and the Pulitzer Prize–winning&nbsp;Margaret Fuller, are treasured works of American biography.&nbsp;In the richly absorbing essays of&nbsp;After Lives, Marshall turns her narrative gift to her own&nbsp;art,&nbsp;life,&nbsp;and the people in it.In each of six essays, Marshall reinvents the personal essay form, as a portal to the past and its lessons for living into the future. The book’s brilliant, assured interplay between memoir and biography places surprising characters on the page, including the twelfth-century Buddhist hermit&nbsp;Kamo no Chomei, a reassuring spiritual presence for Marshall during several otherwise deracinating months in Kyoto.&nbsp;In her stunning coming-of-age tale, “Free for a While,”&nbsp;set in 1970s California, Marshall interweaves the story of her adolescence with that of Black Power martyr Jonathan Jackson, the author’s AP history classmate, gunned down at seventeen in a failed attempt to free his famed older brother George from prison in the case that put Angela Davis on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.&nbsp;Here too is the author’s passion for the biographical chase, and for the mysteries at its heart.&nbsp;She tells the astonishing story of viewing&nbsp;the disinterred remains of her one-time subject Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, wife of Nathaniel, and their daughter Una,&nbsp;the truths of whose&nbsp;early death Marshall works to reveal.&nbsp;Throughout these finely wrought essays, Marshall,&nbsp;“[at] the front rank of American biographers” (Dwight Garner,&nbsp;New York Times),&nbsp;makes palpable her driving impulse to “learn what I could from others: how to live, how not to live, what it means to live.”&nbsp;

Jack Kerouac was one of America's great writers of the latter half of the 20th century, yet he endured a life characterized by persistent hardship and disillusion. Becoming Kerouac: A Writer In His Time affixes Kerouac's life and art in a fresh way, giving readers a rich perspective from which to understand this 20th-century literary genius.

A revealing biography of one of the twentieth century’s most influential writers &nbsp; Philip Roth (1933–2018) is one of the most celebrated American writers of his age. Born in Newark, New Jersey—where his short stories and thirty-one books were often set—he wrote with immense ambition and drive, along with a keen awareness of what must be done to produce great literature. Yet despite rubbing shoulders with the Kennedys and engaging in a spate of famous and infamous romances, he viewed himself as socially withdrawn, living much like an “unchaste monk” (his words). &nbsp; In this original and lucid biography, Steven J. Zipperstein captures Roth’s complex life and the astonishing range of his self-reflective writings—from “Goodbye, Columbus” and Portnoy’s Complaint to the Pulitzer Prize–winning American Pastoral and The Plot Against America. Employing extensive archival research and well over one hundred interviews, including conversations with Roth himself, Zipperstein provides an intimate and probing look at one of the twentieth century’s most influential authors, placing his work in the context of Jewishness, freedom, and sexuality in America.

Stung by Life

Philip Roth

At the Inns of Court, the intellectual, literary, and social heart of early 17th century London, many pivotal friendships were forged: few closer than that of Bulstrode Whitelocke and Edward (Ned) Hyde. Both young men were lively characters, industrious, well-connected, principled and optimistic. They dreamed of reforming the government of Charles I, a young court with age-old problems, by restoring the traditional harmony of Crown and Parliament. This is the story of how their hopes climbed, overreached, and fell into an abyss of relentless civil war. This highly original, vivid and engaging book recreates the atmosphere, drama, players and ideas of what is arguably England's (and Britain's) most crucial and traumatic formative period. Through the stories of his two protagonists, Minoo Dinshaw shows how subtle religious and political differences, careful personal judgments, and mere happenstance combined to place these two friends, most reluctantly, on opposite sides in the English Civil Wars. They would both survive, unlike many thousands of others, into old age; both would become influential historians, shaping how we still understand the conflicts of their age. But their friendship, like the once hopeful country in which it had first flourished, would be forever changed: permanently marred by what both men believed to be senseless and unnecessary civil strife.
