Book 55 of 2015 is Edgar Allan Poe: The Fever Called Living by Paul Collins.
One of the better biographies of Poe. He doesn't condemn him, celebrate him nor pretend to understand him. These are the kind of books about authors I like. A story. A context. A human being.
presented as they are without influence,
Unfortunately, as a short book, this felt too long and I wanted more of Poe's great quotes written in context. Give me context!
3 ravens out of 5.
Should I read this? If you like Edgar Allen Poe then yes.
What did I learn? I need to read more about authors.
