Books by Blake Bailey

3. Blake Bailey, Philip Roth: The Biography .  I only read slivers and won’t finish it, because I just don’t need 800 pp. on Philip Roth.  But…it’s really good.  I like Picasso too, and Caravaggio (a murderer).  I’ve heard, by the way, that this book will be picked up by Simon and Schuster and put back into print.

2. Cheever: A Life , by Blake Bailey.
