Sigh. Anyway, I don't read biographies very often, but I'm pretty crazy about obituaries (as you may know). Why people think of them as morbid, I'm not entirely sure, but I view them as condensed biographies. Only the most interesting stuff gets in there. I read Barbara Burkhardt's "William Maxwell: A Literary Life" a few years back and highly recommend it. Trying to get caught up on my blog reading, so sorry this comment is so late. Sigh.
