MARILYN MONROE(ISBN=9780609805534)
This extraordinarily thoughtful book by Barbara Leaming, aliterary star among movie-star biographers, offers the last thingyou'd expect in a book on Marilyn Monroe: new information fromverifiable sources. Sure, lots of the tragedy is familiar: anabused, confused girl from an orphanage with a mother in a madhouserises from sexual party favor for homely showbiz men to the moviesuperstar who pushes them around, until she crashes, a victim ofself-loathing and drug addiction. The thing about a tragedy is that its heroine isn't avictim--she's responsible for her fate. Leaming does scholarlyspadework, digging up hard facts from sources like UCLA's 20thCentury Fox collection and the diary-like first drafts of ArthurMiller's semiautobiographical work, and she makes sense of Monroe'smotives. She even apparently solves Monroe's suicide with cluesfrom the star's psychiatrist's letters in the Anna Freudcollection. Her last overdose may have happened just because hershrink went to dinner with his wife and she

Starred Review. Van Gogh's reputation in the publicimagination has been made as much by his descent into madness as byhis art. Detailing the final year of his life and the "Studio ofthe South" in which Gauguin and Van Gogh painted side by side,Gayford brings the art back into focus. Explications of the worksilluminate the collaboration—similar subjects find very differenttreatment by two entirely different temperaments. Yet theirinfluence on each other is everywhere—a story that Van Goghrecommends to Gauguin finds its way into a painting; Van Gogh usesthe jute canvas that is Gauguin's material of choice. While some ofthis is well-trodden territory, Gayford's narrative is genuinelydramatic as it moves toward Van Gogh's fateful end. Gayford makesexciting new connections between the tone of Van Gogh'scorrespondence and known scholarship about his probable bipolardisorder. The influences of literature, the news media andso-called "hygienic excursions" (visits to the local brothels)percolate in these le

Clapton:The Autobiography《克莱普顿:传记》埃里克·帕特里克·克莱普顿Eric Patrick
“I found a pattern in my behavior that had been repeating itself for years, decades even. Bad choices were my specialty, and if something honest and decent came along, I would shun it or run the other way.” With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of his eventful and inspiring life in this poignant and honest autobiography. More than a rock star, he is an icon, a living embodiment of the history of rock music. Well known for his reserve in a profession marked by self-promotion, flamboyance, and spin, he now chronicles, for the first time, his remarkable personal and professional journeys. Born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents, Eric never knew his father and, until the age of nine, believed his actual mother to be his sister. In his early teens his solace was the guitar, and his incredible talent would make him a cult hero in the clubs of Britain and inspire devoted fans to scrawl “Clapton is God” on the walls of London’s Underground.

SPEAK, MEMORY(ISBN=9780679723394)
The late Vladimir Nabokov always did things his way, andhis classic autobiography is no exception. No dry recital of dates,names, and addresses for this linguistic magician--instead, Speak, Memory is a succession of lapidary episodes, in whichthe factoids play second fiddle to the development of Nabokov'ssensibility. There is, to be sure, an impressionistic whirl throughthe author's family history (including a gallery of Tartar princesand fin-de-siècle oddities). And Nabokov's account of his tenure atSt. Petersburg's famous Tenishev School--where he counted Osip Mandelstam among hisschoolmates--offers a lovely glimpse into the heart of Russia'ssilver age. Still, Nabokov is much too artful an autobiographer topresent Speak, Memory as a slice of reality--a word, by theway, that he insisted must always be surrounded by quotationmarks.
