5.0 out of 5 stars
Incredible biography,
By A Customer
This review is from: O'Neill: Life with Monte Cristo (Hardcover)
This revised version of the Gelb's famous biography from the sixties is an incredible read. It traces the life of O'Neill from his early beginnings to his first Broadway play, Beyond the Horizon. One gets an in-depth view of his life with his parents and brother. Monte Cristo provides the modern reader with an enriched biographical background that really elucidates aspects of O'Neill's masterwork, Long Day's Journey Into Night. This biography is clearly written, thoughtful, provocative, and interesting. It's definitely one of the great literary biographies of an American writer.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Volume 1 of a planned trilogy,
This review is from: O'Neill: Life with Monte Cristo (Hardcover)
This is no doubt the definitive biography of O'Neill's early life, but please note that this revision of their complete 1962 biography is only the first third of a planned trilogy, covering only the years up to 1918.
Reviews from the year 2000 mention plans to have the rest of the biography published by 2002 or 2004, but that doesn't appear to have happened yet. Does anyone know anything about the rest of the story with this? |
