From Library Journal
D.H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dylan Thomas, and Sylvia Plath were literary geniuses of the first order, yet the reader comes away from this well-written account of their personal lives amazed that they ever had the time to put pen to paper. Each chose for a mate the personality most likely to prove emotionally disastrous; each married their "perfect love," only to find that their romanticism destroyed any possibility of a realistic relationship. Their lives consisted of enough material for a hundred novels: alcoholism, adultery, insanity, poverty, spouse beating (it wasn't always the woman who suffered physical abuse), suicide, desertion, and a compelling passion for the beloved urged the writers on to great creativity and even greater agony. Tytell has written a fascinating study that will both educate and titillate the American literature student and the general reader. Recommended.
