2021025985New York New York U.S.A. : W. W. Norton & Company 2021. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. The renowned biographer's definitive portrait of a literary titan. Appointed by Philip Roth and granted independence and complete access Blake Bailey spent years poring over Roth's personal archive interviewing his friends lovers and colleagues and engaging Roth himself in breathtakingly candid conversations. The result is an indelible portrait of an American master and of the postwar literary scene. Bailey shows how Roth emerged from a lower-middle-class Jewish milieu to achieve the heights of literary fame how his career was nearly derailed by his catastrophic first marriage and how he championed the work of dissident novelists behind the Iron Curtain. Bailey examines Roth's rivalrous friendships with Saul Bellow John Updike and William Styron and reveals the truths of his florid love life culminating in his almost-twenty-year relationship with actress Claire Bloom who pilloried Roth in her 1996 memoir Leaving a Doll's House. Tracing Roth's path from realism to farce to metafiction to the tragic masterpieces of the American Trilogy Bailey explores Roth's engagement with nearly every aspect of postwar American culture.

First Edition/First Printing. 255 pages. The author's debut memoir. One of Blake Bailey's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Blake Bailey's "The Splendid Things We Planned: A Family Portrait". Fathers sons and brothers: A literary elegy for family brotherhood and life itself. "Author of acclaimed biographies of Richard Yates 'A Tragic Honesty' John Cheever 'Cheever: A Life' and Charles Jackson 'Farther And Wilder' Blake Bailey once remarked that his aim in writing such books was 'to reconcile the paradox of a highly compartmentalized personality'. This memoir suggests that Bailey's fascination with compartmentalized people and his explicating the simultaneous bleakness and beauty of their lives stems from personal experience. Bailey's older brother Scott careened from one disaster to the next bewildering and disappointing everyone around him. Though Scott has functional moments including a stint in the Marines during which he became a Master Sharpshooter such moments become footnotes to a larger pattern of wrecked cars jail time and intoxicated self-pity. Their father an upright Oklahoma attorney tries to wash his hands of his son as Scott becomes increasingly unhinged. As his own life begins to blossom Bailey remains an ambivalent participant in this sad family saga torn by his antipathy for his brother yet aware of all that they share" Brendan Driscoll. "You can hate a person with all your heart and soul and still long for that person" Blake Bailey. An absolute "must-have" title for Blake Bailey collectors.

201483022New York: W. W. Norton & Company 2014. First Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Robert Devriendt Jacket Art and Marlies Bailey. 10 254 4 pages. Frontis illustration. Signed by the author sticker on front of DJ. Signed by the author on the title page. Blake Bailey born July 1 1963 is an American writer. Bailey is known for his literary biographies of Richard Yates John Cheever Charles Jackson and Philip Roth. He is the editor of the Library of America omnibus editions of Cheever's stories and novels. In an interview with The New York Times published on November 17 2012 Philip Roth said that Bailey was his official biographer and at work on that project.7 While Roth was alive he gave Bailey exclusive access to papers friends and family and made himself available for extensive interviews This work won the National Book Critics Circle Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. The Splendid Things We Planned is Bailey's darkly funny account of growing up in the shadow of an erratic and increasingly dangerous brother an exhilarating and sometimes harrowing story that culminates in one unforgettable Christmas. Though a memoir this literary biography reveals the gripping true-life novel at the core of the author's own experience. A brother's lament a hard-won clear-eyed view of one family's tortured history The Splendid Things We Planned is everything we hope for in a modern memoir. Blake Bailey's triumph here is both personal and literary: A beautiful book rising out of the ruins. Meet the Baileys: Burck a prosperous lawyer once voted the American Legion's Citizen of the Year in his tiny hometown of Vinita Oklahoma; his wife Marlies who longs to recapture her festive life in Greenwich Village as a pretty young German immigrant fresh off the boat; their addled son Scott who repeatedly crashes the family Porsche; and Blake the younger son trying to find a way through the storm. You're gonna be just like me a drunken Scott taunts him. You're gonna be worse. Blake Bailey has been hailed as addictively readable and praised for his ability to capture lives compellingly and in harrowing detail. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: It seems fitting that biographer Bailey tells the story of his own life by chronicling his brother Scott's alcoholism and drug addiction which causes him to descend into violence and madness. Told in chronological order starting with the marriage of his straight-laced lawyer father to his bohemian German-immigrant mother Bailey's story captures the contradictions and tensions that simmer just below the surface of the family as they try to live a normal suburban life in Oklahoma. But as Scott goes from being a self-absorbed teen to a pothead college dropout and junkie the family dynamic unravels breaking up the marriage as the author himself heads toward alcoholism debauchery and ennui—though not to his brother's depths. But this is Scott's story and Bailey tells it wonderfully in a tragicomic tone that slowly reveals the true depths to which his older brother has sunk. W. W. Norton & Company hardcover
