description: "Mr. Motion has generously enlarged our understanding of . . . this impressive writer's life. He is a clear, fluent writer; evocative, acute, sympathetic, but absolutely unblinking about the notorious weaknesses and cruelties (as well as the immense wit and hard work) of his subject."--Richard Locke, The Wall Street Journal.
