3.0 out of 5 stars
Worth a look,
By Anson Cassel Mills (Lake Santeetlah, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Biographer's Craft/Practical Advice on Gathering, Writing, Shaping and Polishing Biographical Material (Paperback)
This is a short book helpful in small ways. Lomask has a decent popular style, although he's overly enamored of the one-sentence paragraph and the rhetorical question. Occasionally he gives questionable advice, such as when he suggests filling out a subject's early life with guesses concealed in the subjunctive (99). Lomask is best at incorporating the advice of other biographers; in fact, the reader is often left with the impression that he could have done better by reading Leon Edel and Catherine Drinker Bowen in the first place.
