5.0 out of 5 stars
A fine biography,
By A Reader "Gus" (New York, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mervyn Peake, A Life: My Eyes Mint Gold (Hardcover)
Michael Yorke has written a gem about a fine illustrator and storyteller. Mervyn Peake's considerable influence on fantasy fiction (through his neo-Gothic trilogy, Gormenghast) and portfolio of illustrations cement his reputation of a master of twentieth-century arts and letters. Yorke's coverage of his debilitating illness is highly sympathetic, but the biographer does not shy from Peake's darker side, including infidelity to his wife. This finely-produced book contains a generous sampling of Peake's writings and illustrations. Well-researched and superbly written.
