Irwin Shaw
by Shnayerson
A reconstruction of Shaw's life from his days as a young playwright and novelist up to his death in 1984. Despite a prevailing pedestrian tone and lapses into gossip column journals, a chilling and, at times, insightful portrait of the man and his social milieu emerges forcefully. Acidic paper.
