    <![CDATA[Ian Hamilton sets himself a tough challenge by attempting a biography of a writer  best known for his hermitic nature and for not having published anything in the last 30 years.  Hamilton romps briskly through Salinger's life employing an annoying device throughout by  which he records the debates between himself and his &quot;biographer alter ego&quot;.  This half- hearted attempt to problematise the nature of biography is, seemingly, to excuse the gaps in the text.  It does not work well.  At the end of <em>In Search of JD Salinger</em> we learn more  about the lawsuit provoked by Hamilton's first attempt at this book. This, the edited version, is  not the book nor, in a sense, the life that Hamilton wanted to produce.  It is a poor substitute  for what might have been. A life of Salinger has its interest, of course, but when that life has  deliberately eschewed publicity in the interest of the art that such asceticism may create   should we not focus on the work created? The literary criticism, when it comes, is clumsy and  does not make up for either the paucity of facts or the lack of insight or real investigation into Salinger's silence. Hamilton's first book was to be entitled <em>J D Salinger: A Writing Life</em>-- he should have focused on that writing a little more closely. --<em>Mark Thwaite</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Paul Gascoigne's journey through football--indeed life--has been at best tumultuous and  during the trip he has exasperated and thrilled his followers. Hamilton--poet, biographer and  Tottenham fan--was hooked from the first time he saw the player in a Newcastle shirt and has  provided a stylishly written personal account of a chaotic career. The author captures the mood of  fans who have lived in (generally forlorn) hope that Gascoigne would weave his magic. At times  faith was rewarded, such as in the Czechoslovakia game before selection for Italia 90, his  subsequent emergence that summer on the world scene, brilliant displays in Spurs' 1991 Cup  run, the odd gem for Lazio and that goal against Scotland that illuminated Euro 96. Yet his  disturbing off-field antics as well as the destruction of his talent by self-inflicted injuries have prompted  the author to suggest that Gazza never really understood the nature of his genius and was unable  to protect it from the &quot;excesses to which his personality is irreversibly inclined&quot;. As <em>The  Sun</em> newspaper famously put it: &quot;The devil has hijacked the talents made in heaven&quot;.  The postscript to the 1994 publication covers Gazza's time at Rangers and the  infamous World Cup exclusion. Nevertheless Hamilton still manages an upbeat conclusion that mentions Gazza and  Euro 2000 in the same sentence--but then that's a fan for you. --<em>Jamie Foulerton</em>]]>
